Teachers from around the area come to CSULB to show off some of their best demonstrations in areas such as of force and motion and 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, April 11, 2013 from 4:30-5:30pm. The topic will be Themordynamics/Fluid/Nuclear Physics. Please contact Michael Tran at michael.tran@csulb.edu to RSVP to receive complimentary parking.
These events will take place the second Thursday of each month. Demo days will be in PH2-122 (please note new location!).
If you are in need of parking, please contact Michael Tran at michael.tran@csulb.edu to receive a free parking pass on the Monday before the Demo Day.
