FRIDAY AFTERNOON: 2:30pm - 4:30pmTSAAPT WorkshopsOrganizer: Thomas O’Kuma, tokuma@lee.eduW1W2W3“Incorporating Inquiry in Kinematics” presented by Mark Kinsey, Clements High SchoolParticipants will use inquiry and curve fitting concepts to derive kinematics equations of motion forconstant acceleration using computer interfacing technology. PASCO equipment will be used, but it canbe easily adapted to fit any other data acquisition equipment such as VernierLimited to 24 participants - 2 hours - Cost $2.00 Room 315“Ranking Tasks: An Alternative Way of Approaching Concepts in Physics” presented by TomO’Kuma, Lee College.Ranking Tasks are an innovative type of conceptual exercise that asks students to make comparativejudgments about a set of variations on a particular physical situation. They frequently elicit students’natural ideas, rather than a memorized response, about the behavior of a given physical system. Thisworkshop will provide classroom tested examples and ideas on how to construct and use them. Limitedto TAMU RPTRA only.Limited to 24 participants - 2 hours - Cost of $2.00 Room 316"Inexpensive Light Activities” presented by Regina Barrera, Lee CollegeProve Snell’s Law using a Petri dish, Jell-O, a CD, and a Laser Pointer. Determine Planck’s constantusing LEDs, battery, volt meter, and spectroscope. This and others will be presented in this workshop.Most materials are make and take.Limited to 18 participants - 2 hours - Cost $10.00 Room 317SATURDAY MORNING: 10:00 am - 12:00 pmW4W5W6“Introduction to Modeling Tools/Discourse” presented by Dwain Desbien, Estrella MountainCommunity CollegeThis workshop will introduce participants to tools used in the modeling curriculum and classroommanagement techniques used with them. Participants will practice with the tools using traditional andnon-traditional problems, while experiencing first hand the classroom management styles used inmodeling.Limited to 30 participants - 2 hours - Cost $2.00 Room 317"Bring Physics to Life” presented by April Varnado, PASCO ScientificFind out how probeware can increase student understanding of complex physics concepts includingNewton’s Third Law, the Law of Conservation of Energy, Kinematics and Voltage/Current relationships.Using sensors, software and dataloggers, you’ll see for yourself how students’ grasp of physics conceptscan be improved in a way not easily accomplished using more traditional methods. And, come seePASCO’s new Xplorer GLX!Limited to 24 participants - 2 hours - Cost $2.00 Room 315“Polarization Using the LabPro” presented by Regina Barrera and Tom O’Kuma, Lee CollegeNow you can show how Intensity depends on the angle of a polarizer using light sources (flash light,LED light source, and a laser pointer) and how other materials shift the intensity (scotch tape, plastic,wax paper, and calcite). The LabPro interface with a light sensor and a rotary motion probe will be usedto show how this is possible.Limited to 18 participants - 2 hours - $4.00 Room 31619
