We are thrilled to announce that the 48th annual Ontario Association of Physics Teachers Conference, OAPT Dive into Data 2026, will be at Queen's University in Kingston from May 21-23!
We know that May is a long time from now, but we would really like to know if you are considering giving a presentation that targets any of the following:
Areas of interest:
- high school physics teaching
- Grades 9 &10 Science teaching
- first-year university or college physics teaching
- general interest physics topics for a lay audience
We welcome all proposals connected to physics/science teaching. Whether you have presented many times before or not, we welcome you. Sessions should involve participation through discussion or activities, and not just be lecture-based.
Theme: Dive into Data
We are also interested in sessions that connect to our conference theme: Dive into Data. "Data" might mean evidence that informs pedagogy, measurements collected in labs/activities, or large open-source datasets ready for exploration. “Data” can mean many things and we are excited to see how you frame it.
We encourage proposals of two lengths:
- 30 minutes: These will be paired into a one-hour time slot.
- 1h : (Note: Long, lecture-based proposals will not be accepted. )
Dates and AV equipment:
Workshops will take place on Friday, May 22 or the morning of Saturday May 23. Each presentation space will have a projector and sound system. Presenters should bring their own computer.
If you would like to have more than one presentation, please submit the form again.
