Getting Students To Do Authentic Academic Research, Dr. Peter Dong
Getting Students To Do Authentic Academic Research, Dr. Peter Dong
Professional Learning Day
Most classroom experiences bear little resemblance to actual research, and aspiring scientists and other researchers have no exposure to authentic academic work, in many cases, until graduate school. Giving high school students genuine research experience is possible and helpful for their understanding. This session will share lessons learned from IMSA's research programs and discuss ways, both big and small, that teachers and their schools can get students involved in real research.
Ai Tools For Intelligent Teaching And Learning, Dr.Phadmakar Patankar
Ai Tools For Intelligent Teaching And Learning, Dr.Phadmakar Patankar
Professional Learning Day
Discover the power of free AI tools designed to enhance teaching and learning! In this interactive session, we will explore tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Khanmigo, setting up access and experimenting with their features. While the session will showcase examples in math instruction, educators are encouraged to test these tools across various subjects such as science, English, and history. This workshop empowers teachers to integrate cutting-edge AI tools into their classrooms, fostering creativity, efficiency, and engagement.

Can you imagine your life without your GPS (Global Positioning System)? Although GPS seems to be an automatic and standard service for all users. The users alone contribute to at least 30% of the program’s ability to work accurately. Join us in exploring a model representing the calculations performed by navigational devices that predict travel times and the optimal roads for this travel time. If you get lost on the way to this presentation, use the GPS.

Quantum Cryptography In Physics Class, Anastasia Perry
Professional Learning Day
Do you want to bring more modern physics content, beyond the photoelectric effect, into your physics classroom? Quantum mechanics has bizarre phenomena such as probabilistic measurement, uncertainty principle, and entanglement. Using quantum objects like photons can benefit cryptography and secure communication. This lesson will model the BB84 quantum key generation protocol using hands-on activity. Additional simulation activities and resources will be shared. This activity can be used in a high school physics class during the modern physics unit. Basic algebra skills and limited school supplies are needed. Interested CS teachers or middle school science teachers can use it as an …

Reflections On Light: Exploring Geometrical Optics With Precalculus Tools, Dr. Anderson Trimm
Professional Learning Day
In this session, the presenter will discuss the mathematical modeling of reflection and refraction of light as an engaging and accessible application of several concepts from precalculus. By presenting this topic with a greater emphasis on the underlying mathematics, students of physical science can make deeper connections with their mathematics coursework. The presenter will share a lesson appropriate for Algebra 2 or precalculus that integrates Desmos and PhET simulations and discuss differentiation opportunities. Attendees should bring a laptop to access the simulations.
Landform Lessons: Applying Terrestrial Geography To Mars Landing Site, Lindsey Herlehy
Landform Lessons: Applying Terrestrial Geography To Mars Landing Site, Lindsey Herlehy
Publications & Research
In this hands-on, STEM integrated workshop, educators will explore the fascinating parallels between Earth's landscapes and the Martian surface to enhance their understanding of planetary geography. Through a progressive series of activities, participants will compare environments and landforms on Earth and Mars, using actual data from spacecraft orbiting Mars to collect evidence and construct conclusions about these terrestrial planets. Then, applying this information, educators will construct multi-layer maps aimed at selecting the most advantageous landing site for a manned mission to the Red Planet. Finally, utilizing an online mapping application, participants will virtually explore their chosen landing site and examine …
