Professional Bio

Adam Bennion is an Assistant Professor at Brigham Young University, where he specializes in physics education and teacher preparation. He teaches courses in physical science teaching methods, experimental physics, and science education with technology and engineering. His work bridges disciplinary content and pedagogical practice, preparing future educators to teach physics through inquiry, modeling, and the integration of emerging technologies such as 3D printing, programming, and artificial intelligence.

Dr. Bennion’s research focuses on preservice teacher engagement with high-leverage science teaching practices and the development of instructional tools that support student-centered learning. He has authored several peer-reviewed publications and regularly presents at national conferences including AAPT, ASTE, and NARST. His current projects include developing scientific modeling in undergraduate physics labs and preservice teacher beliefs and engagement with high leverage teaching practices and technology.

Before joining BYU, Dr. Bennion taught high school physics and astronomy in Utah and served as a board member for the Utah Science Teachers Association. He holds a Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Michigan.
