How might we use breaks in physics classes to provide a meaningful experience, heighten cooperation and concentration, and provide more safety for kids on the way to school? We developed a Tactile Reaction Training that we call TReaT and can be embedded in physics classes without compromises to lab safety. The training is about ten minutes for each of them and focused on getting a better body feeling to react more appropriately in danger situations. Aspects of Germany‘s core curriculum in Physics, e.g. conservation of Momentum, Force and Motion is connected to the training. We tested the approach with 38 students of fifth and sixth grade over six weeks. For evaluation, we arrayed 10 students in a line across a marked lined that should resemble a train or bus stop. The kids who participated in TRT were significantly more often able to withstand the push and kept a safe stand.

Applying the Tactile Reaction Training TReaT in a Physics Classroom

Science is supposed to create solutions to the problems our world is facing, and we do a lot to foster scientific knowledge with out students towards this end. But how might we teach to be "creative" and put solutions together using the building blocks of Math, Science, Technology and Engineering? Internationally, there is a growing movement to re-focus on the idea of the&nbsp;STEAM Curriculum that is driven&nbsp;from the Maker Movement, the Ardiuno Community and educators of the Asia-Pacific area that understands the "A" for "Arts" as a mission to design and create artificats with the needs of human beings at the center. We demonstrate creativity methods such as Design Thinking, Human-Centric Design and Lean Start-up and how they can be integrated with inquiry&nbsp;learning in classrooms. We will compare STEAM teaching to ISLE and 5E teaching methods and compare the differences from the perspective of students. &nbsp; &nbsp;

AAPT® is a strong professional physics science society dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in physical science education.

Winter and Summer National Meetings:
These National Meetings, held each winter and summer, are opportunities for members, colleagues, and future physicists from around the world to:

- participate in physics workshops
- meet and greet other physics educators
- form networks nationally and locally
- engage exhibitors and learn about the latest physics resources
- discuss innovations in teaching methods
- share the results of research about teaching and learning.
