Welcome to The Physics Teacher! TPT publishes peer-reviewed papers on the teaching of introductory physics and on topics such as contemporary physics, applied physics, and the history of physics. Dedicated to strengthening the teaching of introductory physics at all levels, including secondary schools, colleges, and universities, TPT provides peer-reviewed content and materials to be used in classrooms and instructional laboratories.

Typical topics include innovative physics demonstrations, new ways of doing lab experiments, ideas for presenting difficult concepts more clearly, suggestions for implementing newer technology into teaching, giving historical insights that enrich the physics course, and implementing ideas for physics education research in the introductory physics classroom. Special monthly features include Physics Challenge Solutions, Fermi Questions, and Figuring Physics cartoons.
