Workshops:
Please indicate your workshop preference by marking a 1, 2, or 3 in the blank to the right.
(1 = strongest preference.)
Session I. 1:00 pm-1:50 p.m., Session II. 1:55-2:45 p.m.;
1. What is AAPT supposed to be, what is it to YOU, and what would you like it to be? Harvey Leff
Session I _____
Session II (repeat) _____
To me, AAPT is a vibrant organization at the forefront of physics education. I'll give a brief
description of the association and outline some of its current initiatives. I'll then ask the title
question and try to inspire a healthy, constructive discussion. Your input is very important.
2. How do we go about building our tricycle? Robert Brown
Session I _____
Session II (repeat) _____
Given the revisiting teaching format of the cycle method (discussed in Doc Brown’s plenary talk), how do we prepare to teach this way? As a hands-on activity, we present examples of what has to be redesigned in a cycled class. We have to identify the subconcepts and math skills within each topic (such as inelastic collisions and vector equations in momentum conservation) and decide in which cycle they reside. A sample set of traditional text, homework, and exams will allow the participant to practice deconstructing them into two or three cycles. We also will analyze how this approach meshes with the latest and greatest (as measured by a study of all AAPT abstracts in the 2007 Greensboro Meeting) in inquiry-based and active learning, peer instruction, cognitive research and conceptual blending, multiple representations, rubrics, framings, model analysis, textbook controversies, tutorials and studios, as well as critical and reflective thinking.
3. Using Children's Literature to Teach Physical Science Bill Reitz ______
(double session)
The magic and wonder unleashed in children’s literature should not disappear when the story is
completed. See how mischievous David can teach us science processes and how a little fish can
guide how we teach. Let Drummer Hoff guide your experiment or help Captain Underpants create cheesy animation. In this workshop we explore how children's fiction books can be used to
introduce, enhance, guide, and even assess concepts in physical science Lots of examples,
references, and hands on activities.
4. Physics of the Electric Guitar Mary Kay Patton
Session I _____
Session II (repeat) _____
The guitar is probably one of the most common musical instruments in contemporary music.
There are several aspects of the guitar that can be used to teach basic physics concepts, including:
standing waves, pitch, frequency, harmonics, electromagnetism, tension, and frequency
modulation, This lab consists of a series of activities separated by topics and uses a basic string
set-up to illustrate the physics concepts on a guitar. The focus will be on the basics of an electric
pick-up and its placement on the guitar.
How I Do It:
If you would like to contribute a 5 minute presentation for the How I Do It session, please
