The Physics Teacher
Volume 58 Issue 5
May 2020
This month's cover portrays a physics student sharing with the class her group’s perspective on the topic of the day. This vibrant glimpse into a modern physics classroom was created by Jen Geanakos especially for this collection of articles on “Sex, Gender, and Physics Teaching” starting on page 294 and continuing through the fall of 2020.
Since August 1, 2014, the submission process for articles for The Physics Teacher has required authors to submit their article and cover letter at this website: http:www.editorialexpress.com/tpt. Starting June 10, 2020, the submission process for articles for The Physics Teacher will change. On or after June 10th, authors submit their article and cover letter at this website: http://tpt.peerx-press.org/.
Columns
And the Survey Says..., Figuring Physics, iPhysicsLabs Little Gems, Physics Challenge for Teachers and Students, Fermi Questions, Talkin' Physics, Technology In The Classroom, Visual Physics, and Websights.
