Teaching Materials

Material that can be used in the classroom exists only in Dutch. For all materials, see the Dutch version of this page.

NB
1.    Revised Physics has a compulsory core curriculum and elective modules, as well as both national written exams and school exams.
2.    The ASMaT modules can generally be chosen by schools from a reasonable range of modules. The modules are assessed exclusively by means of school exams.
3.    In Nijmegen, a network of 6 schools has been set up together with the Radboud University Nijmegen to provide 9 of the 11 ASMaT modules centrally at the university, in order to expand the cooperation between high school teachers and university lecturers. Sijbrand de Jong is the founder and coordinator of this ASMaT network in Nijmegen.
