2:10 - 3:00 Business + How I do it...
** Un-Conference: It has been noted that simply having time to share ideas with colleagues is valuable but that often we don't have enough time to do this as we are too busy. To that end an Un-Conference allows participants to suggest/sign up for discussion/sharing topics of interest. Topics of high interest are then assigned rooms and during the Un-Conference time period the participants meet in the room of interest and brainstorm, share, and learn from other members in the group. Future Conference topics may result from these sessions or the Un-Conference session itself may be the final result. Some examples of Un-Conference topics: promoting physics in schools/universities; approaches to teaching rotational motion in the AP classroom; project based learning in physics; your idea goes here...

Spring OSAAPT Meeting March 19, 2016 at Baldwin Wallace University
| Meeting Agenda March 19, 2016.pdf |
Morning Workshop Options:
choose A or B
9 am Modeling* (2 hours) Arduino Apps*
10 am Modeling continued Problem-Solving Skills
11 am Observatory/Optics* Physics of Music
Modeling: Modeling Instruction is a PER based pedagogy begun by David Hestenes and Malcolm Wells at Arizona State University in the 80's. Currently there is a national network of teachers at multiple levels using the method and connected by the organization they started AMTA. Workshops are offered by the organization across the nation and in foreign countries. This 2-hour workshop will introduce Modeling Instruction by taking the participant through a learning cycle for the pendulum. If you want to know what Modeling Instruction is (and isn't) this workshop will give you personal experience of the student experience in a Modeling Instruction Environment and how the role of the teacher is altered to facilitate learning. It would be an excellent introduction if you are thinking of taking a 3 week Modeling workshop and want to know a little more first. Contact Holly McTernan at hmcternan@sehs.net for more information.
Arduino Apps: This workshop will introduce the inexpensive and easy-to-use Arduino microcontroller and how to use it in (and outside of) the physics lab. Participants who have laptops and/or Arduinos are encouraged to bring them. Contact Peter Hoekje at phoekje@bw.edu to reserve a spot or for more information. Enrollment is limited.
Observatory Optics: Burrell Memorial Observatory Director Gary Kader will lead this workshop which will include a visit to and use of the Warner and Swasey 13 3/8 inch refracting telescope located a 4 minute walk from the building. Please note that the observatory is not ADA accessible.
Afternoon Keynote "Let There Be Light" with Tom Greenslade
Thomas Greenslade received an A.B. in physics from Amherst College in 1959 and a doctorate in experimental low temperature physics from Rutgers University in 1965. From 1964 to 2002 he was a physics faculty member at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, and taught part- time there for the next three years. His research deals with early physics teaching apparatus, and in support of that he has a large web site, a private museum wing to his house, and an ongoing series of 518 illustrations of early apparatus in American Journal of Physics. He has 278 publications in The Physics Teacher, American Journal of Physics, Rittenhouse and Physics in Perspective, and has given 214 talks at AAPT meetings and physics department seminars. He recently completed his fourth two-year term as the chair of the Committee on the History and Philosophy of Physics of the American Association of Physics Teachers, which awarded him a Distinguished Service Citation in 1987, and made him a Fellow in 2014. In 2002 he was listed him as one of the 75 most influential physics teachers and physicists in the United States. He is now a member of the AAPT Committee on the Interests of Senior Physicists. His entry for the 2007 AAPT Apparatus Competition won first place. In 2015 he was made a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Spring 2013 Meeting
The spring meeting of the OSAAPT is only a few weeks away. What better way to break up the doldrums of winter than a Saturday morning spent with physics teachers and professors from around the region. We'll be sharing lots of great ideas and our speakers are focused on a number of hot topics in education circles.
The meeting is on Saturday, March 2nd and will be hosted by Lakeland Community College in Kirtland. Check out the Meetings and Events page for directions and registration. We appreciate everyone that can registering before the event as it allows us to give an accurate count for lunch. Lunch will be a choice of sandwich accompanied by fruit, side salad and more. Please indicate on the registration which selection you would like.
The day is filled with speakers and workshops that we're sure you'll enjoy and learn from. First, we have Dr. Jay Reynolds, director of the LCC Observatory speaking with us about astronomy in the physics classroom. For those with an interest in the recent revision of the AP Physics B curriculum and what it means for your students, Robert Morse, co-chair of the Physics 1 committee, will walk us through the changes and field questions that you may have. And finally, our own, Dr. Susan Ramlo is presenting on the flipped classroom format and how to successfully implement it in your courses.
Our afternoon workshops will include an electrostatics workshop led by Robert Morse and Steve Majoros working with digital cameras to produce IR imaging. The workshops will have two concurrent sessions, so you'll be able to attend each.
Don't forget to submit your own "How I Do It" ideas when you register. Everyone loves to take home these ideas and we continue to have a small cash prize available for the best HIDI as determined by the members. If you have a colleague that has never been to an OSAAPT meeting, bring them along. We hope to see you all there.
Schedule for the Day
The meeting is on Saturday, March 2nd and will be hosted by Lakeland Community College in Kirtland. Check out the Meetings and Events page for directions and registration. We appreciate everyone that can registering before the event as it allows us to give an accurate count for lunch. Lunch will be a choice of sandwich accompanied by fruit, side salad and more. Please indicate on the registration which selection you would like.
The day is filled with speakers and workshops that we're sure you'll enjoy and learn from. First, we have Dr. Jay Reynolds, director of the LCC Observatory speaking with us about astronomy in the physics classroom.

Fall 2012 Meeting
Our fall meeting is upon us! With the return of the school year for many of us, now is a fantastic time to gather with colleagues and share ideas about how to make this another great year. We have an exciting meeting planned for you all.
As announced earlier, the meeting will be held at Laurel School located in Shaker Heights, OH. You can find meeting information, driving directions and the registration form on our Meetings and Events page. We've been very lucky to secure an array of speakers and activities for the day, including nationally recognized names in education and TEDx presenters - Dr. Lisa Damour and Frank Noschese.
Dr. Lisa Damour, the director of the Center for Research on Girls, will be sharing her work around gender and its role in the science classroom. With the recent article in the New York Times about gender bias in the sciences, this should be a fantastic and timely talk.
Frank Noschese is a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching and has been featured on MSNBC. His TEDxNYED talk is a highlight of the conference and important for all science teachers to watch. Frank will be joining us all the way from John Jay High School remotely to discuss Modeling Instruction in the classroom. His work can be seen on his blog, Action-Reaction.
Additionally, we have Sam Sampere, Demonstration and Laboratory Manager at Syracuse University and co-leader of the Lecture-Demonstration Workshops at AAPT national meetings prepared to educate and entertain us with a variety of physics demos. This meeting will also feature a return of the Make & Take workshop which is always popular. Workshop leaders will guide participants through the construction of useful demos or lab equipment that they can leave the meeting with. All materials will be provided. And finally, a generous donor has provided us with a cash prize to award for the best "How I Do It" presentation. Be sure to sign up on the registration form. Combined with our normal give-a-ways, this meeting is one that you won't want to miss.

Spring 2012 Meeting
Our spring meeting is coming up soon, so save Saturday, March 3rd, on your calendars. We'll be gathering at Stark State College and we have some great sessions planned, as well as a tour of the nearby Rolls Royce Fuel Cell Systems. Our plenary speaker will be Ted Ohrn, an engineer at the facility, who will talk about the fuel cell research the company is involved with. There will be lots to learn and talk about, so be sure to be there. You can find maps, driving directions and more on the Meetings page.
We're organizing lunch through Panera and we need to get an accurate head count. There aren't any close food choices off-campus, so you'll want to sign up for lunch or bring your own. For registration, we're asking you to head over to the Stark State College website (link below) and use the registration form. The site also contains all of the information about the meeting. We're looking forward to seeing lots of folks there!
