Hands-On Physics Workshop

These 2-day hands-on workshops give novice and experienced users an opportunity to explore the use of technology in the teaching of physics. The activities will be built around the use of Vernier sensors and software.

Three major areas of exploration will be provided:

  • One will focus on the features of Logger Pro software that are especially useful to physics teachers, e.g. the analysis of movies and the addition of vectors to graphs and movies.
  • The second area will explore a variety of data-collection options, i.e., computers, handheld devices, wireless, and remote.
  • The third area will give participants an opportunity to use each Vernier physics sensor in at least one traditional experiment, inquiry activity, or lab practical.

The $199 registration fee includes lunch and a copy of Physics with Vernier.

You can earn two (quarter) Graduate Science credit hours through the Portland State University Center for Science Education. This workshop is the first step. Learn more about graduate credit.

We don't have any Physics Summer Workshops open for registration at this time. Please check back at a later date for a complete listing.
