Sometimes the best inspiration comes from looking back through our community's shared history. 💡One AAPT member shares how a deep dive into our archives completely transformed their students' end-of-year physics projects. #WeArePhysicsEducation

This month’s cover of #TPT is a Worthington–Edgerton crown produced by a droplet landing on a stagnant liquid surface. “Defying Gravity” was created by students A. Schorr, G. Adam, V. Vo, I. Becker, and J. Cheng as part of their laboratory activities. pubs.aip.org/aapt/pte/issue/…
