3) AAPT SEEKS INPUT
It has been five years since AAPT reviewed and updated its long-range plan.
Physics education and the world in which it exists have evolved steadily
during that time. We need to examine our future to position AAPT to best
serve physics teachers in the next five to 10 years.
We would like the membership of AAPT to provide input for the planning
process. Please see the open letter from AAPT President Ruth Howes in the
Spring Announcer, or online at
The annual AAPT Apparatus Competition will be held in Guelph, Ontario on
July 30, 2000, during the AAPT summer meeting.
There are two categories - Low Cost Apparatus and Introductory Laboratory
Apparatus. Prizes range from $100 to $1000.
Plan now to enter, and notify the Competition Director by May 1 of your
intention to enter (for details, see http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~moloney).
