Our NCNAPT spring keynote Dr. General Yvonne Cagle says that as you launch and transition to microgravity "You are no longer the same person who left the planet." In addition to a change of perspective, you get 2" taller and solar radiation changes your DNA. #iteachphysics

@cossettej's original post about the toy turned physics tool is here: https://t.co/yumxXluvne

[Joe Cossette @cossettej]

As our review on standing waves and harmonics, groups of students were given one of these noisemaker toys and tasked with developing a visual model to explain how and why the sound changes.

I would love to teach a whole semester on the "Physics of Toys" someday... #iteachphysics

I had a great time at #CASE23 with @SCAAPT Ryan and other physics teachers. As president of @NCNAAPT I look forward to lots more collaboration between the two @AAPTHQ sections!

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

@NCNAAPT member @zkossover from the @Exploratorium gave a great presentation about sound and resonance using marambas, a baseball bat, resonator chambers, meter sticks, a guard and more at #CASE23

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

If you're at #CASE23 stop by the @NCNAAPT/@SCAAPT booth! We have several make & take activities for everyone!

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

If youre at #CASE23 in Palm Springs come visit the @NCNAAPT /@SCAAPT booth in the exhibit hall. We have lots of make and take activities about all kinds of physics concepts.

@MsMagaryPhysics Absolutely! Come by the booth!

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

Two of our @NCNAAPT section members spotted wearing our shirts! If you're at #aaptsm23 and within Northern California or Nevada stop by to get your FREE shirts!

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

We love to see students presenting! Congrats to both Jasmine and Sue on a successful #AAPTSM23 talk!

[Dan Burns @kilroi22]

Recent Livermore HS grad Jasmine Jaura presents her physics with phones work in @NCNAAPT member Dave Rakestraw’s session at #AAPTSM23

[NCNAAPT @NCNAAPT]

Are you at #AAPTSM23? Head to the K-12 Resource Room in A8 at 1pm for a section meeting!
All California and Nevada teachers of all levels welcome!
