    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • History of Paseo High School and the Kansas City Missouri School District
    A History of Paseo High School and The Kansas City Missouri School District Produced by the Paseo Alliance © Paseo Alliance website Paseon yearbooks 1927 - 1990 INTRODUCTION On July 19, 2006, eighteen or twenty Paseo graduates, most of whom had celebrated their fiftieth high school class reunion, gathered together for lunch to discuss how to preserve the legacy of their great school that had been demolished over sixteen years prior to that luncheon meeting. The school, a monument to progress, had been built and opened in 1926 and became a landmark in Kansas City. Sitting very high on a hill with its five stories and magnificent tower, the School could be seen for miles around. Architect Charles A. Smith considered the building one of his finest efforts, but the school came down, for all the wrong reasons. Although their building was gone, this group of alumni decided they would never let its legacy die. At that meeting in July, 2006, the group elected officers and were pleased that a graduate of Paseo, a retired Colonel, volunteered to act as the webmaster in order to enhance and preserve the memory of The Paseo High School. The group that gathered that day now call themselves The Paseo Alliance. After over four years, the Alliance now hosts four social/meeting functions each year and has a state-of- the-art website that has become the standard for all high schools. In early 2009, after a lengthy discussion, it was discovered that a history of The Paseo High School simply did not exist, so two volunteers set out to research the history of the school that has been all but lost forever.

There are a plethora of schools in Kansas City leaving parents with the exciting yet daunting task of finding the best option. For example, the average kindergarten parent in Kansas City faces over 30 school choices. To learn about the Kansas City School choice process, our research team asked parents about information sources, driving factors, and obstacles that influenced their school choices. This report provides a summary of the findings based on 436 survey responses and focus groups with 103 parents. The synthesis of our qualitative and quantitative KEY FINDINGS results suggest that parents utilize a multi-step, multi-source process to learn about schools, yet • Parents engage in a multi-step process to learn they still struggle to access the detailed data they about schools.
