  Whether you've been teaching physics for decades or this is your first year, a refresher on the physics content can be super helpful in preparing you to teach your next unit, especially for AP and dual enrollment courses. In this webinar, we will get a conceptual primer on topics related to fluid statics (density, pressure, buoyancy, etc.), with emphasis on teaching strategies for tricky concepts, real-world applications, and what students need to be successful for their next physics class. 

  This is the third in a series, to be followed by one more webinar on Fluids later in the semester.

  When: Wednesday, April 8 |  4:15-6:15 (Zoom)

  Focus: Making sense of concepts related to fluid statics, with emphasis on effective teaching strategies for tricky topics and real-world applications

  Audience: Physics teachers, especially AP and dual enrollment

  Presenters: Tatsu Takeuchi, Physics Professor (VA Tech) and CeeCee Bishop, Physics Instructor (CBGS)

  From Strategy to Student Impact: AI-Enhanced Science Instruction That Works

  Presenters: Tyler Hunt, Jessa Miles, Eric Rhoades, and Cary Wright

  In an era of rapid technological change, the heart of science education remains the same: a student’s ability to ask “Why?” and “How?” This preconference session explores the powerful connection between student-centered inquiry and the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for critical thinking, we will examine how it can serve as a cognitive scaffold that strengthens and accelerates scientific and engineering practices.

  Participants will explore practical strategies for maintaining a truly student-first environment, transforming AI from a tool of passive consumption into one that supports active, student-driven experimentation and discovery.
