Colorado Area Physics Teachers

The Colorado Area Physics Teachers (CAPT) group is a collection of High School Physics teachers that get together 4 times a school year (twice a semester) to discuss, share, create, and tweak activities and labs around a chosen unit for each meeting. Recent topics covered have been Fluids, Circular Motion, Electrostatics, Waves, and Rotational Motion. Teachers are provided food and materials for one of the activities/labs for participation. Meant to further the physics community in Colorado, CAPT creates connections and networking among teachers, provides resources for teachers to make their jobs easier and seeks to make physics a reachable and attainable science for all students.
