Regular Mail or FAX - Call for Papers

Fall Meeting - Illinois Section of the AAPT
October 23-24, 1998
Highland Community College


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 or FAX it no later than October 16 to the address listed at the bottom of the page.

ABSTRACT FORMAT:
The abstract must be typed. Begin the abstract with the title in CAPITAL LETTERS, then the name(s) of the author(s), (underline the name of the presenter), followed by the institution, city, state, and ZIP code. The abstract must be a single paragraph, single spaced.  State specific objectives, findings, and conclusions.  Your abstract will appear in the final program for the meeting and will be "published" on the ISAAPT website.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: 
For presentations, Highland can supply a computer on a cart for each room that will have a session. All could have Office 97 access from their hard drives or access to our server where only Office 95 is available. The advantage of the latter is in quickly attaining Internet connectivity within a 10-15 minute presentation.

All rooms can have any of the following: 35mm projector, overhead projector, LCD computer projector, VCR & monitor, video projector, CD player, podium, handheld &/or lavalier microphone, easel, flipchart pad, &/or portable dry erase, videocamera. Contact Eric Peterson if you have any questions.

COMMENTS:
Please indicate in the comments when you would prefer to give your talk (Friday afternoon or Saturday morning) and how long you expect it to be. Papers will be allowed 15 or 20 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion and questions.

OTHER INFORMATION:
Please include your telephone number and e-mail address so that you may be notified of the time that your talk is scheduled.

Check the special box on the Registration Form if you will present a “TAKE-FIVE” mini-presentation.  No advance abstract is needed for the “take-fives”. Just indicate which day you prefer.
