 USA - New York - Ithaca - Cornell University - Center for Nanoscale Systems - CNS Institute for Physics Teachers - Contemporary Physics
A two-credit lecture and laboratory course for high school physics teachers. Lectures will be given by Dr. Monica Plisch and other Cornell faculty on topics including: atomic-scale imaging, the Standard Model, integrated circuits, x-ray diffraction of biomolecules, and light emitting diodes. Hands-on activities developed by Cornell scientists working with teachers will be presented by teachers. Lab activities include: building a water analogy to electric circuits, observing subatomic particles with a cloud chamber, mapping a hidden "molecule", and converting electrical energy to light with LEDs. The course has a theme of science inquiry and activities are tied to the NYS Physics Core Curriculum where possible.
Selection Criteria
Applicants must currently teach at least one period of high school physics per day or give workshop for physics teachers on an on-going basis. Applicants with tenure are preferred.
Tuition, Stipend, and Housing
Tuition and fees for both courses are paid by CIPT. Participants are housed in one of Cornell's residence halls and receive a stipend of $600, parking, all weekday breakfasts, and some lunches and dinners.
