Physics textbooks affect teaching styles. They provide the teachers with content management, curriculum design, and materials to build students’ learning. They have a main role in the teaching-learning process, as teachers recognise. At the same time, they limit teachers’ efforts for the innovation of Physics Educational strategies. “College Physics - Explore and Apply” is a Physics textbook based on the ISLE (Investigative Science Learning Environment) approach. It is more than a simple textbook. It is a philosophy and a way to innovate the teaching-learning Physics process. Teachers who started to adopt this approach and the textbook will never come back.
