STEP UP is a national movement (APS +AAPT) to provide high school physics teachers with resources to reduce barriers and inspire young women to major in physics. Supporting Teachers to Encourage the Pursuit of Undergraduate Physics for Women. Drawing on research evidence, STEP UP will mobilize thousands of high school physics teachers to reduce barriers.
10:30 to 11:20: “Getting Students to Think Critically in Labs” – Webinar Presenter: Natasha Holmes of Cornell University.
“Many institutions are overhauling their physics labs to provide students with more authentic experiences with experimental physics. I’ll discuss some of the strategies we’ve been studying for introducing ideas about the nature of physics, modeling, and critical thinking into introductory labs. I’ll also present some of the benefits and challenges of these new lab approaches.” Natasha Holmes https://physics.cornell.edu/natasha-holmes
