Introduction
American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), established in 1930, is a strong professional physics science society dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in physical science education. The association has 8,000 registered physics teachers; half of these are professors from famous universities, whilst a third are experienced high school teachers. The association provides the latest physics methodologies and rich educational resources through meetings, forums, magazines, contests and so on.
PhysicsBowl is an annual physics contest held by the AAPT. Experienced registered physics teachers and professors get together to write the competition problems and judge results. It is the most influential physics contest for American high schools, with participants from 500+ schools in 11 countries every year.
