    Top five ways for scientific subversion in school:
    1. Making a paper plane
    Students can test their knowledge of aerodynamics by attempting to create the optimum craft. 2. Drinking a fizzy drink in class Students can study the effect of pressure on the dissolved gas contained in a carbonated drink. 3. Having a skateboard at school Skateboarding is a very valuable exercise in understanding, harnessing and controlling forces, in particular friction and gravity. 4. Playing Tetris on a mobile phone 5. Flicking elastic bands at things Students can investigate how stored elastic energy can be converted into kinetic energy, which can in turn exert a force on a stationary target, causing the target to move, in agreement with Newton's laws of motion. Physics Life is part of the physics.org web site, a search facility that answers your questions about physical science with a list of relevant web sites from its database. The animation begins with a street in which you can explore the buildings, areas and objects that you see. The graphics become animated and make noises when you hover your mouse over them, and you can click to zoom in and enter buildings and places. You can try the playground, where clicking a football activates a pop-up box that tells you about curling a football in flight. Each pop-up box contains general information about the activity, written informally, as well as links for more information from physics.org.

    The Earth is one of nine planets orbiting the Sun, and the Sun is one of some 100 billion stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way and about 30 other galaxies comprise the Local Group, which in turn is part of the local supercluster of galaxies. Superclusters seem to be grouped into even larger systems, all of which fit within the visible Universe. -Thomas T.

    • ACE Real Time Solar Wind Information Geomagnetic storms are a natural hazard, like hurricanes and tsunamis, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Environment Center (SEC) forecasts for the public's benefit. Severe geomagnetic storms cause communications problems, abruptly increase drag on spacecraft, and can cause electric utility blackouts over a wide area. The location of ACE at the L1 libration point between the earth and the sun will enable ACE to give about a one hour advance warning of impending geomagnetic activity.

    Lisa Denise Murphy
    I am a graduate student in Mathematics Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . My advisor is Kenneth J. Travers . (Ken's advisees generally think he walks on water, and we're a pretty perceptive bunch.) I am particularly interested in using appropriate technology to find better ways to teach calculus to undergraduate students majoring in engineering and physics. I have written a few papers, which are available on the web. These papers are mostly about calculus instruction in one way or another, with a lot of attention to the use of technology to increase understanding. My dissertation is a comparison of two ways of using technology to introduce the derivative in a first-semester calculus course. This is the part of my site that should be changing most rapidly this semesterbut hasn't been. I'll try to do better. Really, Mom, I'm working on it. One of the instructional methods in my study uses a computer and an ultrasonic motion detector, produced by Vernier Software . As the student walks back and forth in front of the detector, the computer displays a graph of the student's motion. Motion detectors have been used successfully to teach graphing concepts to students from middle school through college. I am using the motion detector to help the students see how the speed of the motion is represented by the slope of the distance graph and the height of the velocity graph. Once this conceptual link between the slope of one graph and the magnitude of another is established, it forms a foundation for understanding the derivative.

    "TOP" UNIVERSITY SCIENTISTS DO TEACH
    (An edited version of this article appeared on the Editorial pages of the NEW YORK TIMES on June 13, 1995.)
    THOMAS DEVLIN* Professor of Physics at Rutgers University
    *(reprinted with the author's permission) Ten-thousand students were enrolled in courses taught personally by American and Canadian physics professors who worked on the discovery of the top quark announced in March. Night and weekends, via plane flights, computer links and tele-conferencing, faculty at universities across the continent searched for this elementary building block of nature in experiments at Fermilab in Illinois while carrying out a full range of teaching activities at home. No hard evidence exists to support media accusations, but scientists are alarmed. In January, speaking to the Universities Research Association, Neal Lane, director of the National Science Foundation warned that we must improve our teaching. All agreed, but several of us urged him to investigate the validity of the media assertions. D. Allan Bromley, presidential science advisor during the Bush administration and president-elect of the American Physical Society, expressed similar thoughts recently at Rutgers. Again, I objected that no evidence of widespread abuse exists. Dr. Bromley wisely pointed out that it does not matter what I think; the issue is the public's perception. I decided to get some data on the subject. The top-quark discovery identified over 800 scientists from many countries with some claim to excellence in research. I sent questions to all in this group with regular faculty appointments at forty-four U.S. and two Canadian universities. With shameless arm-twisting, I got data about all 123 men and women in this target group. I sought a "snapshot" of their teaching activity when the top-quark was announced. Here are the results:

    What Can You Do With a Physics Major After Graduation?
    Why Be a Physics Major?
    Nobody knows what the economic situation will be then, or which fields will be "hot." Attempts to do this kind of forecasting in the past have been notably unsuccessful. The best advice to undergraduates at this stage seems to be, "Do what interests you and what you are good at." If you think you want to go on to Physics graduate school and ultimately be a professional physicist, you should ask yourself two questions: 1) Am I really, really excited by Physics, to the extent that I want to do it more than anything else? 2) Am I good at Physics? If your answers to both questions are positive, you should seriously consider majoring in Physics and then continuing on to graduate school. There will always be openings for good people. If you aren't sure about your answers, you should still consider majoring in Physics, but be thinking about other things to do after graduation.

    Professional Development Opportunities
    Physics for Teachers of Grades 4-8 This virtual workshop aims to enhance the physics content understanding for teachers and to improve the way the content is delivered to the students. The teachers learn through inquiry and have the same opportunities as their students to develop greater understanding. Our goals are to have teachers become more comfortable with their own knowledge and way of teaching physics concepts which will ultimately bring more physics into their classrooms. These workshops are geared for teachers. They are meant to be fun and easy to understand as they encourage group discussions among the participants and the instructors. Currently there are three virtual workshop topics:
    • Light
    • Temperature and Heat
    • Electricity and Magnetism
    Features of the workshop include:
    • Hands on learning through concrete experiences
    • Work at your own location
    • Set your own work schedule
    • Work in a small group
    • Time for discussions with peers and content experts
    • Guided through the workshop by instructors via the internet
    • Email and CD Rom technology
    • Free to participate and receive the materials (if you fit into the guidelines of our grant)
    • Ongoing(an opportunity to learn over time)
    • Moving all learners ahead from where they start
    Teachers will be provided with:
    • CD Rom
    • Teacher Manual
    • Kit of materials

    Improve Your State Science Test Scores
    We give teachers the materials, understanding, and confidence to teach physical science core content in an inquiry mode. Our workshops usually take from 30-40 hours to complete allowing participants the depth of experience and instruction needed to assure immediate and effective implementation in the classroom.

A class of middle school students take a quick break from rocketry and their other activities for a photo in front of the Science on the Move van. "This is so fun," one student said of the experiment she did before teacher Penny Kisiah lined up the children to walk outside as the alarm blared.
