Join NASA's partner, the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), for their monthly virtual workshop series, Physics in Astronomy Context. Each sessions provides professional development on implementing an AAPT "Digi Kit." A "Digi Kit" is a web-based interactive lab that blends physics, geometry, and astronomy as students build and use physical models to explore phenomena. Digi Kit resources include a core lesson plan, videos, simulations, tutorials, and readings. Find links to the Digi Kits below.
Monthly workshop sessions consist of an astrophysics mini-lecture, small group engagement with the core activity, exploration and whole group discussion time. Register for workshops here.
