Walter Fendt has developed Applet Physics applications covering topics in Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves, Electrodynamics, Optics, Thermodynamics, Theory of Relativity, Physics of Atoms and Nuclear Physics. Each applet is colorful, with simple user interfaces. It allows you and your students to play with various concepts for clearer understanding!

The 2009 ASM Materials Camp® for Teachers as featured in our Upcoming Events is a great opportunity to attend a FREE 1 week summer workshop (CEUs and graduate graduates available!). This is first come, first serve, so apply now!

These workshops are open to Science / Technology / Art / Math High School and Middle School Teachers.

1. Ann Arbor - University of Michigan - July 13 - 17, 2009
2. Houghton - Michigan Tech University - July 20 - 24, 2009

The goal of the workshops is to help you, as teachers, to "excite young people" in science and math by training you how to use low cost/no cost simple labs and experiments using everyday materials, that can be integrated into your existing lesson plans to actively engage students!

Online applications are open or you can contact Jeane Deatherage: jeane.deatherage "at" asminternational.org,
