My first article[edit]

harvard project physics was a big deal in the 60's and 70's, and is well documented. i would welcome any feedback from anyone involved in this project. I know there are wikipedians who either remember this or worked on it. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs development[edit]

The article remains at Start-class, and there is a lot that should be added describing the historical context, the early organization of the project, its development, conclusion, and successors. The involvement of textbook publishers and manufacturers of lab equipment is also missing, even though these were key to the rollout of the curriculum to high schools. I think there was a paper presented at Harvard in 2014 or 2015 covering some of these topics, possibly under the History of Science department. Reify-tech (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Compare this article to the more fully-developed ones The Feynman Lectures on Physics and Berkeley Physics Course. Reify-tech (talk) 18:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
