AP Physics Course Revisions for Fall 2024

The 2024-25 school year will introduce a new, common, exam format for all AP physics courses, as well as some curricular modifications for each course. This includes a smaller set of science practices, consistent across all four courses. The workshop will familiarize teachers with the new curricula. It will take a deep dive into the key features and major differences between the new curriculum and its predecessor, focusing on science practices. Attendees will develop skills to adapt and implement the new curriculum in their classrooms. The revised exams will be reviewed and participants will work through case studies with sample questions tied to each science practice. Strategies to prepare students will be discussed and modeled.

Bridging the Gap: Data Science Applications in Modern Physics Education

This workshop will introduce participants to incorporating data science into the undergraduate physics curriculum. The materials were developed by a dedicated team of postdocs and PhD students who were fellows of the Data Science Education Community of Practice (DSECOP). We will do a hands-on walk-through of getting started with Cloud-based tools such as Google Colab before leading an interactive session on two lessons that can be used in different physics courses. One lesson will focus on how Monte Carlo methods in physics naturally extend to machine learning algorithms such as deep neural networks using the Ising model as an example. The other lesson will provide an introduction to histograms as a tool for exploratory and more in-depth data analysis, providing instruction on both constructing and analyzing histograms. We will also have faculty who have taught using these tools provide their insights on what’s required for a successful experience. All of the materials are freely available.  The modules are hosted at:https://github.com/GDS-Education-Community-of-Practice/DSECOP  Please bring a laptop and make sure you have a Google account. This workshop is targeted toward those who have some knowledge of Python. The material was designed with postsecondary education physics faculty in mind. No prior experience in data science is required.

Building Thinking Classrooms

Sense making in a science class has the expectation that students think. This workshop will engage participants in a thinking classroom in which thinking to make sense of a phenomena is the norm, and students are discouraged from slacking, stalling, mimicking, and faking their way through the physics content.  The goal of a thinking classroom is to build engaged students that are willing to think about any task.

Demos @ MIT

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an example of how a larger demonstration group operates and how we have integrated ourselves into flipped classrooms beyond providing  demonstration services. The workshop will include a tour of all of our classrooms, workshops, storage, and lab spaces necessary for our education mission; a presentation on the structure of PIRL (Physics Instructional Resources Lab), how it fits within the Physics Department; and how we use demonstrations in the flipped classroom model; followed by a physics demonstration show exhibiting many of the historical pieces that currently reside within PIRL's demonstration collection, including Robert J. Van de Graaff's prototype Van de Graaff, and a Marconi coil of the same make as was on the Titanic. There will be a decent amount of travel between rooms so bring comfortable shoes. All spaces will be accessible via elevator for people with mobility disabilities.

Exploring Physics through the Lens of Systems

In physics, we often just focus on the forces or motion of one object that we treat as a dot. But we can also make that dot represent what looks like multiple objects at first glance. Learning to think in terms of multiple systems can help students see problems from multiple perspectives or at multiple scales, allowing them to find new insights or simplify their work. In this workshop, we will explore the concept of systems and system models. This NGSS crosscutting concept can be integrated into the four fundamental models of introductory physics (kinematics, forces, energy, and momentum) with small changes or additions that help students think in terms of systems. We will explore using systems thinking in the four models through labs, problems, and discussions. Thinking in terms of systems will even allow us to naturally develop the idea of center of mass and explore interdisciplinary concepts like the sociopolitical context of a nuclear power plant. Although we hope that this workshop will be interesting to a wide audience, our target audience is high school teachers.

Writing and Evaluating Curricular Materials for the IPLS Portal

The Living Physics Portal (LPP) is an effort by the physics and biology faculty and PER/BER researchers to design, develop, and disseminate new curricular materials for the courses in introductory physics for the life sciences. The first part of the workshop will focus on finding, adapting, and using curricular resources on the LPP. Several sample key resources will be identified and studied. The last part of the workshop is designed to introduce the concepts, practices, and standards of educational scholarship. Faculty who adopt curricular resources from the LPP or other sources will therefore be better able to offer insightful critiques to the developers of the curricular resources. Interested faculty may also learn how to develop curricular materials for their own classrooms for use by the LPP community. Attendees will find having a laptop useful but not required.

Maximizing Learning and Engagement with Demonstrations

In this workshop we will start with a discussion and questions on ways we have used demonstrations in the past. We'll work together to make a list of what has and has not worked regarding how demonstrations were used. In particular, we will focus on the format and methods of presentation, rather than the specific equipment. From there, we'll learn about the Demonstration Framework model, and how to use it for demonstration development. We will then break into pairs, and each attendee will use the model to develop their own hypothetical demos. In the end, everyone who attends will get their own printed copy of the framework to take home so they may continue to use it.

LHC Physics in the Classroom

Students who complete an introductory physics course may be under the impression that physics somehow “stopped” in the late 19th or early 20th century. Of course this idea could not be further from the truth, as physicists today continue to work on addressing an ever-growing list of unsolved questions: Where has all the antimatter gone? What is dark matter? What is dark energy? (What questions have we not thought of yet?) Physicists from all over the world work to address these and many other questions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, on the border of Switzerland and France. This workshop will focus on how teachers can tap into the excitement of LHC physics to both motivate students and provide a contemporary context for them to engage with topics and practices covered in introductory physics courses, including (but not limited to) conservation laws, data collection, organization, and analysis, and making claims based on evidence. Participants in this workshop will alternate between “student mode” and “teacher mode”, will analyze authentic LHC data, and will get a chance to work through some activities from QuarkNet’s Data Activities Portfolio. The workshop will conclude with a discussion on classroom implementation. Some of the activities will be computer-based, so please bring along a laptop! This workshop is supported by the NSF-funded QuarkNet program, https://quarknet.org, and OPTYCs, https://optycs.aapt.org.

200+ Physics Simulations to Inspire Classroom Engagement

In this workshop, participants will explore more than 200 physics simulations, learn about research-based best practices for their use, and create activities for their own classrooms. The VIPER physics simulations (http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/VIPER/) and best practices shared in this workshop are for introductory physics and astronomy at both the college and high school levels. The majority of the time spent in this workshop will be in creating new activities, providing opportunities for participants to share in small groups, elicit feedback from each other, and work through a multi-step design process. Existing activities created by our Boston University PER group and others will be shared as examples and models for the developed work. As the goal of this workshop is for participants to walk away with completed activities for their own classroom, we ask that everyone please bring a laptop to the workshop. The Visualizations in Physics Education Research (VIPER) project is supported by NSF DUE-2120980 and DUE-1712159.

Dreaming of Liberatory Futures in Physics Education

 

Physics has been and continues to be a site of racial oppression, as evidenced by both the stories of harm voiced by People of Color in the discipline and by the large-scale patterns in outcomes for People of Color in the field. A critical lens calls us to both acknowledge and seek to dismantle the impacts of white supremacy in physics and to lean into a liberatory imagination, envisioning and then working to co-create a future that centers collective thriving. As a conceptual framework and methodological approach, critical race spatial analysis (CRSA) provides such a lens to help identify spatial dimensions of injustice in physics teaching and learning, while simultaneously curating “counter-spaces” that dream imagined futures to design racially just classrooms.  As part of a NSF-funded project, an interdisciplinary team that includes physics undergraduate students are collaborating to articulate the possibility of a new spatial imaginary in physics, guided by the tenets of CRSA. For this workshop, we will share both the process and products of this dreaming process, including visualizations of liberatory physics classrooms. We will invite participants to co-dream with us about liberatory physics education through a series of discussions, art-making, and curricular planning centered around three questions: 1) How can art be employed to examine oppression in classrooms and other learning spaces and used to design a physics community in which everyone gets what they need and deserve? 2) What kinds of collectives and strategies could we curate or join to make a vision of a liberatory physics education “real”? and 3) How might we build from this workshop, as physics instructors, to transform physics classrooms going forward?

Dual Process Theories to Interpret Students' Physics Reasoning

We have been investigating the relationships among students’ intuition, reasoning, and conceptual understanding in physics. A major part of this project has been the development of assessment tasks and methods for disentangling conceptual understanding and reasoning. We have drawn on dual-process theories of reasoning from cognitive science in the interpretation of student learning data and the development of instructional interventions to improve student reasoning. In this workshop, participants will engage with these issues by examining written student responses and viewing and discussing video. We will present curricular interventions developed in alignment with dual-process theories and will describe a framework that can be used for the development of additional interventions.

Fun, Engaging, Effective, Intro Labs and Demos (plus Virtual Options) 

Participants in this workshop will have hands-on experience with research-validated active learning activities for the introductory laboratory—including RealTime Physics (RTP) labs using computer-based tools and video analysis—that have been used effectively in university, college and high school physics courses. They will also experience Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs)—a strategy for making lectures more active learning environments. These active learning approaches are fun, engaging and validated by physics education research (PER). Research results demonstrating the effectiveness of RTP and ILDs will be presented. Emphasis will be on activities in mechanics, electricity and magnetism and optics. Distance learning options for lab and lecture will also be included. The following will be distributed: Modules from the Third Edition of RTP, the ILD book and free access to virtual materials for lab and lecture. Participants should bring their laptop (with USB-A or USB-C connection).

Introductory Labs to Promote Scientific Reasoning

Scientific reasoning and decision-making abilities are highly sought outcomes of modern education. We have developed and evaluated a complete inquiry-based lab curriculum that explicitly promotes these abilities by engaging students in activities that include designing and conducting controlled experiments, making appropriate decisions, conducting data analysis, and interpreting and synthesizing results to construct meaningful evidence-based claims. The curriculum aligns with the AAPT Lab Guidelines and cultivates an inclusive culture to support a diverse population. During the workshop, participants will work through several lab activities to learn about the underlying curricular framework, which involves operationally defined sub-skills:  including abilities for controlling variables in multi-variable contexts, data analytics, and causal reasoning.  Participants will learn how assessments can be used to measure important skills-based outcomes, and our own results will be shared. Participants will be provided access to all lab materials (both in-person and online versions) and assessments, as well as learn how to modify their existing in-person or online labs, if preferred.

TEAM UP Together & Transfer Students: Supporting student transfer between two- and four-year institutions

 

For students transferring from two-year to four-year institutions, the transition itself is known to have multiple challenges. Given that a larger proportion of minoritized students, especially Black and African American, begin their physics degrees at two-year colleges, building better bridges across these institutions can provide necessary support for student success. In this workshop, we explore the findings from the TEAM-UP report, and work collaboratively to strategize ways to make the transfer process seamless. These plans will help all transfer students succeed, and have the potential to help all students by reducing barriers to success. This workshop is sponsored by the TEAM-UP Together Program and The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges (NSF grant #2212807).
