Exclusive Physics Day

Join us for hands-on learning, thrills and fun on April 24, 2009!  Convert potential energy into kinetic energy, illustrate the vector addition of forces, compute centripetal accelerations and experience thrilling free falls and near weightless conditions during this exclusive event designed just for you.  Students who think about and experience physics first hand develop a deeper understanding of the principles taught in the classroom.  By becoming part of the laboratory equipment, your students will experience the excitement and FUN of understanding physics concepts.

2009 Physics Day Sponsors:
American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) is the world's leading organization for physics educators.  With over 10,000 members worldwide, AAPT provides teachers with many opportunities for professional development, networking, and student enrichment.  Many online resources are available through ComPADRE (www.compadre.org) and the AAPT website (www.aapt.org ).

EXTRA CREDIT! NEW IN 2009: Students interested in participating in the Six Flags America Roller Coaster Contest can find the rules, judging criteria, scoring rubric, and application form at http://www.aapt.org/Contests/rollercoaster.cfm

Society of Physics Students (SPS) has chapters on over 700 campuses.  SPS is a professional association primarily for undergraduate students interested in physics.  SPS exists to support students in their academic, research, science outreach, and other pursuits, and to help them prepare for careers in science and other fields.  This year SPS joins in the worldwide celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, www.astronomy2009.org.  Visit the SPS website for physics career information, a scholarship clearinghouse, and to learn more about the society, www.spsnational.org

The American Physical Society (APS) is the professional society for physicists in the United States.  APS works to advance and disseminate the knowledge of physics through journals, meetings, public affairs efforts and educational programs.  Information about APS and its services can be found at www.aps.org.  In addition to it work with the physics community, APS also aims to inspire anyone with an interest in physics.  To help with this goal APS runs PhysicsCentral, a website aimed at communicating the excitement and importance of physics to the general public.  Visit www.physicscentral.com to find out about APS educational programs, current physics research, people in physics and more.
