Many areas of the United States face shortage of teachers who have studied a significant amount of physics at the university. To provide secondary school students with a course in physics many states allow teachers of other sciences and mathematics to become physics teachers. These teachers must complete some minimal number of physics courses at the university. To help these teachers understand contemporary physics we have designed a course which future secondary science teachers complete. The course relies on computer visualization and hands-on activities rather than mathematics to convey the concepts of quantum mechanics and other related topics.
