I guess I've heard of the physics first movement but hadn't
paid any attention. Despite my background in physics, I think
that's a silly idea for high school curriculum. One can't
understand cellular level processes with the level of physics
one learns in high school. One doesn't master quantum mechanics
in high school physics and even if one did, high school chemistry
doesn't use it (much beyond the idea of electon shells defining
the relationships in the periodic table). I don't know why
anyone who has been through these subjects in high school and
college would even come up with the idea of taking high school
physics before biology or chemistry in order to help learn those
subjects.

Cheers,
