INTRODUCTION

The Visual Quantum Mechanics (VQM) project has created a series of teaching/learning units to introduce quantum physics to several different groups of students.  This sample of materials will enable you to interactively see how high school students and college students with little background in science or mathematics can effectively learn some aspects of quantum mechanics.

In this sampler you will see parts of several sets of lessons for teaching quantum physics. Much of the learning is related to simple devices such as the light emitting diode (LED), gas lamps, and light sticks. These Web pages do not contain all of the activities which students would do. Instead you will experience some of the highlights. For more information about the complete package, visit
