Come join Val Michael and Jen Goldsberry in a morning of geometric optics activities. We will do some pretty traditional “stuff” such as mirrors, transparent blocks, and lens. We will look at a couple of traditional practicums. We will spend some time going over how to draw ray diagrams for both mirrors and lens. All this will be strongly related to the information kids have developed from the ripple tank. You will receive a packet of PTRA materials which include labs and activities.
Finally we would like for everyone to join us for cake and ice cream to celebrate our new AAPT section, the St. Louis Area Physics Teachers. You certainly do not need to do the workshop to come party with us! We will start the party at 11:30 AM.
Please RSVP to Val at 314-415-5957 or 636-458-9498 and let me know if you will attend the workshop, the workshop and party or just the party. (leftover cake just goes to my hips :) See you then!

Hey to all the optics workshop participants. For those of you who asked, we will meet on Friday at 4PM and continue with our investigations. Please bring your discs if you can find them. I'll have a few munchies but you might want to bring a snack. Please let me know if you are coming by Wednesday in case I have chosen a really bad day.
