Teachers from around the area come to CSULB to show off some of their best demonstrations in areas such as of force and motion & energy and momentum. The PhysTEC Demo Days also give the teachers a chance to collaborate and meet one another. Demonstrations cover a whole range of topics and teachers walk away from the experience having at least a couple of new ideas.
Our next Demo Sharing Day is scheduled on Thursday, May 17, 2012 from 4:30-5:30pm. Please contact Michael Tran at michael.tran@csulb.edu to RSVP by Friday, May 11, 2012 to receive complimentary parking.
These events will take place the second Thursday of each month. Demo days will be in PH1-219 (please note new location!).
