Subject: [YAPA] First YAPA meeting for 2011-2012
Message-ID: <BAY146-W2BF80FC0290C6208891AECA1E0@phx.gbl>





Hello YAPA fans, Hope all of you are off to a rousing start for the new school year.   The first YAPA meeting will be Monday September 19th, YSU, Ward Beecher room 2026, 7 PM.  At the meeting, we will discuss the calendar for the rest of the year.  Looking for volunteers to host meetings in February and April. Jodi and I attended a presentation by the ourtreach coordinator for the American Acoustical Society.   She has put together kits containing 10 tuning forks, images of the ear hairs, damaged ear hairs, etc.  which she is willing to send to those who attend a workshop and request the equipment.   There are only 150 kits for the entire country... Thought we'd share some of the workshop at this first meeting, have those interested request the kits and then share other parts of the workshop at future YAPA meetings.  If they run out, the rep believes she will be able to put together more kits.  If interested, be sure to attend the meeting on the 19th. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Roy

Fresh Ideas for Your Relative Speed Discussions

Whether we realize it or not, all velocity/speed measurements are made relative to some other object. When your car?s speedometer reads 55 mph,the assumption is that the change in position of the car compared to the stationary ground is 55 miles every hour. However, not all velocity/speed measurements are made relative to a stationary object. The constant velocity cars allow students to experimentally investigate relative speeds as the cars with different speeds move in the same direction and in opposite directions.

In this demonstration Joel Bryan of Ball State University explores Relative Velocity (Speed) with cars; Moving Opposite Directions (Toward Each Other); Moving Opposite Directions (Away From Each Other); Moving Same Direction (Faster Car in Back); and Moving Same Direction (Faster Car in Front). Watch Professor Joel Bryan explore Relative Velocity with cars here:

Constant Velocity Car
This simple but powerful toy provides a visible source of uniform speed. Students can easily quantify and graph their results, starting them on the road to a conceptual understanding of motion.

Car and Ramp 2.0 Lab
Experiment with distance, time, velocity and acceleration, Newton's laws and simple machines. The 120cm ramp attaches to the Workshop Stand at angles up to 65?.

Pull-back Car
This companion to our popular Constant Velocity Car demonstrates nearly constant acceleration. Simply pull back on the spring-loaded, die-cast roadster, then release. Use a motion sensor or tape timer to measure the acceleration.

Fan Cart
Even Sir Issac Newton would have been a fan of the Fan Cart! The Fan Cart is perfect for exploring Newton's laws of motion, inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction.

Subject: [YAPA] October and November meeting dates
Message-ID: <BAY146-W26505B4C6FFA36E04B9D13CAF00@phx.gbl>





Hi all,  Dates for the next two meetings are Tuesday October 18 at Canfield High 7-9 ish as usual and  Monday November 14 at YSU Ward-Beecher room 2026 7-9 ish as well.   Hope you can make it. What you missed: Robert shared ideas for resources in teaching astronomy.   Roy shared a couple of ideas from the Acoustical Society's workshop.  Brandon and Mike shared ideas for "inexpensive" materials for teaching about current vs voltage, interaction of magnetic fields and a Faraday's cage for a radio.  Gregg discussed the physics department's interest in applying for an ITQ (Improving Teaching Quality) grant.  Jodi shared an extremely friendly (and free) web site for generating graphs that can be imported for worksheets/tests-- after prompting from Mike, she also shared images she and Roy had taken of the new supernova in M51.
