Hands-on Activities
Hands-on Activities
Society for Physics Students Science Outreach Catalyst Kits - Contains exploratory physics and science activities that are specifically designed to use in outreach presentations to elementary, middle, and high school students. The website also contains a list of outreach demonstration guides. (Note: The kits are only available to SPS chapters at colleges and universities; high schools should reach out to a local SPS chapter.
CGIF Materials Science Classroom Kits - Features nine lessons for K–12 students that comply with Next Generation Science Standards. The lessons introduce students to all the basic classes of materials: ceramics, composites, metals, and polymers. Chapters could also build buzzer boxes to operate the games.
Competitions
Competitions
FIRST Robotics - Students work together with their mentors to design and build robots to compete in a dynamic and exciting challenges.
AAPT High School Physics Photo Contest - Provides students with an opportunity to explore natural and contrived phenomena by creating visual illustrations and written analysis of various physical concepts.
AAPT Physics Bowl - International high school competition each spring (March or April). School teams compete regionally with other school teams. Students will take a 40-question, 45-minute, timed, multiple-choice test under their school’s supervision.
International Physics Olympiad Competition - Test the highest level of knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, proper practices of presentation and analysis, and hands-on skills in theoretical and experimental physics among secondary school students. *US Students need to register for the F=MA exam
Regeneron Science Talent Search - A science and mathematics competition for high school seniors that requires them to conduct independent research in science, math, or engineering. The first-place prize is $250,000—the largest scientific prize available to a high school student in the United States—with prizes awarded at all stages of the competition.
Mentoring Opportunities
Mentoring Opportunities
Adopt-a-Physicist - Connects classes with the physicists of their choice through online discussion forums that are active for a set three-week period. Sigma Pi Sigma leads this program.
Physics-To-Go - Bring physicists to classrooms virtually to discuss career paths and/or content to groups of students.
