For Teachers

Perimeter’s Outreach team is passionate about supporting science teachers so that together we can raise scientific literacy and help students learn that science is a powerful way of investigating the mysteries of our universe and an exciting process of building models to describe our world – models that change as new discoveries are made. Our support comes through classroom kits developed by Perimeter researchers and experienced teachers; professional development opportunities of workshops and special events; a national teacher network; online multimedia and in-person resources for students and teachers; and contests that provide opportunities for students to extend their knowledge of physics.

Perimeter Institute is fulfilling the needs of teachers with a combination of special programs and resources created specifically for them. These programs and resources combine cutting edge research with pedagogical techniques and provide an opportunity for teachers to meet and interact with top scientists from Perimeter Institute.

In-Class Kits

This series of in-class educational resources is designed to help teachers explain a range of important topics in physics. These resources are the product of extensive collaboration between international researchers, Perimeter Institute’s outreach staff, and experienced teachers. Each kit has been designed with both the expert and novice teacher in mind and has been thoroughly tested in classrooms.
