Everything about The American Association Of Physics Teachers totally explained
The
American Association of Physics Teachers was founded in
1930 for the purpose of "dissemination of knowledge of physics, particularly by way of teaching." There are more than 10,000 members that reside in over 30 countries. AAPT publications include two
peer-reviewed journals, the
American Journal of Physics and
The Physics Teacher. The association has two annual National Meetings (winter and summer) and has regional sections with their own meetings and organization. The association also offers grants and awards for physics educators and programs and contests for physics educators and students.
Brief history
The American Association of Physics Teachers was founded on
December 31 1930, when forty-five physicists held a meeting during the joint
APS-AAAS meeting in Cleveland specifically for that purpose.
The AAPT became a founding member of the
American Institute of Physics after the other founding members were convinced of the stability of the AAPT itself after a new constitution for the AAPT was agreed upon.
Contests
The AAPT sponsors a number of competitions. The
Physics Bowl,
Six Flags'
roller coaster contest, and the US Physics Team are just a few. The US physics team is determined by two preliminary exams and a week and a half long "boot camp." Each year, five members are selected to compete against dozens of countries in the
International Physics Olympiad (IPHO).
