United States

Throughout the Little Shop of Physics’ (LSOP’s) 29 years, we’ve shared informal, hands-on science education with over 600,000 K-12 students. This success has been — and continues to be — possible thanks to over 4,000 undergraduate volunteers and interns. All the interactive experiments we take to schools across the country are built and maintained by undergraduates at Colorado State University. These same undergraduates have primary responsibility for interacting with K-12 students during LSOP school visits. Our volunteers and interns come from all majors and backgrounds; this diversity benefits the volunteer and intern cohort, the LSOP, and the K-12 students we work with. In turn, during their time at LSOP, volunteers and interns learn marketable skills, acquire conceptual physics understanding, and belong to an inclusive campus community. Undergraduate involvement is at the heart of LSOP’s ongoing cogency; it keeps the program harmonized to current needs of K-12 students.

Welcome to the largest national, multi-specialty research event **featuring research from 750 medical students, residents and fellows, and international medical graduates.**


#### Event Details
The 2022 American Medical Association Research Challenge includes a poster symposium hall and a semifinals hall with the top scored research. Log in at any time throughout the event to:
* **View posters and presentations** on a variety of topics and specialties
* **Score posters in the semifinals** to help decide the top five finalists (AMA member exclusive opportunity)
* **Connect with participants** and provide feedback to help advance their research

At the conclusion of this event, the AMA will announce the top five finalists who will advance to the AMA Research Challenge finals, present their research to an elite panel of judges and compete to win a $10,000 grand prize sponsored by Laurel Road.

The 2020 AAPT Virtual Summer Meeting brought together physics educators from around the globe to learn about the latest in physics theory, research methodology and education from leaders in their field. 

Bringing Scientific Practices (SP), Core Ideas (CI), and Crosscutting Concepts (CC) (aka three-dimensional learning), into college courses raises the need for assessments that can elicit students’ competencies in engaging in those dimensions. The Three-Dimensional Learning Assessment Protocol (3D-LAP) provides criteria for each SP, CI, and CC to characterize and develop assessment tasks to elicit evidence of students’ engagement in each dimension. How can we make inferences about students’ abilities to engage in SPs? We articulate a methodology to explore student abilities to intertwine the SP of Using Math with physics concepts at introductory level. We developed tasks that can elicit Using Math along with a CI (and CCs) and gave them to students in one-on-one, video-recorded, Think-Aloud interviews. In this talk, we explain this process of making inferences from students’ work products. This work helps us extend this process to the rest of the SPs as a whole.
