Dear AAPT Member,

Welcome to Physical Fragments, the quarterly newsletter designed specifically to help new members become acquainted with the many benefits of AAPT membership. Below we've highlighted some of the opportunities offered by AAPT, including our upcoming National Meeting. With the school year well under way, you will find AAPT to be a convenient and reliable resource for teaching ideas, demo's, products, and workshops. Visit our website dedicated entirely to the physical sciences: http://psrc.aapt.org; investigate our Teaching Resources or our products catalog linked from the home page: http://www.aapt.org; or peruse the archived Demo's that are included with this electronic newsletter.
