The Idaho-Utah Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) is calling for nominations of outstanding Idaho science teachers for the 5th annual Micron Outstanding Science Teacher Awards.  Thanks to a grant from Micron Technology, three Idaho teachers will receive cash awards of $250 for outstanding science teaching.  The award categories are:

(1) Outstanding physics teacher
(2) Outstanding science teacher

One award will be given in the first category and two in the second. The awards will be presented at the annual meeting of the ISTA in October 2005.  If you know of an outstanding science teacher in need of recognition, please nominate them for one or more of these awards.  The deadline for nominations  is Monday, May 16, at 5:00 pm.  Award nomination forms are available at http://www.physics.isu.edu/aapt.
