Popis: Based on experience and research, two major educational programs are described, a physics course content and philosophy for non-science majors and a physics course for urban teachers and students based on the theme of sports and movement. Examples for each of these programs are given including a useful table for solving quantitative physics problems using the barest mathematics of subtraction and division by two. The thematic based program is entitled ACTION PHYSICS and was aimed at junior high school teachers and had the support of the National Science Foundation
