Regular Mail or FAX - Call for Papers

Spring Meeting - Illinois Section of the AAPT
April 24-25, 1998
Knox 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 April 15 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: 
A classroom and a lecture hall will be available for the talks. The classroom is equipped with a Windows 95 computer connected to a video projector. It has PowerPoint 97 installed and is on the Internet. A Mac computer can be brought in from the Knox computer center if you need it. You may also be able to connect your PC laptop or Mac Powerbook to the video projector but you should probably bring your own interface cable.

COMMENTS:
Please indicate in the comments if this paper will be a part of the Student Research Symposium. Also 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.
