Summary	In order to learn more about the classroom environment in physics classes in North Carolina, the Learning Environment Inventory was administered to approximately forty physics classes. This instrument is designed to measure the social classroom climate as perceived by the pupils within it. The Learning Environment Inventory contains fifteen scales such as Satisfaction, Difficulty and Formality, The main interest of this 3tudy was to compare the environment of students taking the Project Physics Course with that in the "traditional" physics courses. Computer programs were used to determine means for the scales and to compare data by use of the t test. It was found that Project Physics classes are considered to be less formal, less rushed, less goal directed, more disorganized, and less difficult than "traditional" physics classes in North Carolina.
