Amusement Park Physics -A Class Experience
Who: Middle school and high school teachers When: Monday, February 18th, 2008 Time: 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM Location: Argonne National Lab Registration Deadline: February 11, 2008 Cost: $65 (includes resource book and other materials) This workshop is designed for general/physical science teachers to prepare them for typical "May" park visits. A very brief amount of time will be spent on general background, field trip planning, objectives, and sample amusement park data, and print resource materials. A moderate amount of time will be spent discussing two very different varieties of field trips, activities for those not attending the trip, and evaluation materials. Most of the time will be spent on equipment procurement and fabrication; hands-on use of the measuring devices for distances, heights, and accelerations; safety; and background information for selected rides. Minimal math and conceptual approaches will also be discussed. The workshop fee will include a curriculum guide with some photocopy ready materials, accelerometers, and triangulation devices. Participants are guaranteed to have lots of PHUN! Registration is on a first request basis. Presenter: Nathan A. Unterman To register, fill out the on-line registation form and mail your check (payable to Argonne National Laboratory) by February 11, 2008. School Purchase Orders are acceptable.
