We solicit your papers and student projects in any area of classroom physics. Many of you have proven, clever ideas and we want to hear them. Some of you have students who are involved with you on an student research project. If you would like to share a "state of the research" summary, please submit your one paragraph abstract to conform to the format given below and mail, fax, or e-mail it as soon as possible.

Student Group, TYC21 (Introductory Physics Teaching), General Physics,
and Physics Research. Please indicate which type of session your
paper best fits. Most of these will be on both days; therefore,
if it makes a big difference to you on which day you are to present, please
