  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    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.

  • STUDENTS SAID… • I Had a Good Time, and the Facilitators Were Really Good
    STUDENTS SAID… • I had a good time, and the facilitators were really good. • I enjoyed it. I could be open and honest without being judged. • Manytown made me think of things I didn't even realize. Because my high school isn’t very diverse, I haven’t really thought about what would happen if it was. • It allowed me to open my eyes and be able to connect with people from other schools who deal with tough situations everyday. • I seriously enjoyed this experience and think more students should be given the opportunity to come to a Manytown Conference. • This is my 4th Manytown and I take away something new each time. • It was a very valuable experience and I feel I got to know/understand people that are different from me. • [Manytown is a] very good opportunity to connect with students from other schools around the same area and discuss common issues in our schools. • I think that programs like this are really important and teens need to be more aware of these types of issues. It's great to see so many teens willing to come out and participate. • It was a great and educational experience. I would like to come back. The things I learned I will take back to my school and teach others. • It was great! I have more of an urge to stop violence/bullying. • I feel that this experience was very helpful. I learned a lot and feel more comfortable with confronting bullies and helping other people. • I felt it was an extremely good experience in which I can take what I have learned and educate people in my school about it.
