  • 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.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2009 - 2010 Newark is our home. Education is our work. The World is our future. Newark is our home. Education is our work. The World is our future. AnnuAl REPORT Message from the Board Chair Dear Friends, The spirit and accomplishments of the 2009/2010 school year truly exemplify our constituents' commitment to the Link mission. The pages of this annual report highlight Link's never- ending focus on results and accountability. In between the lines is the story of how hard we have all worked to fulfill Link’s mission with pride.Many thanks and acknowledgements are in order. First, and most importantly, thank you to the students of Link who continue to amaze us with their commitment to a brighter future. The hard work of the 2010 graduating class during their two years at Link resulted in standardized test scores indicating an increase of 3.7 grade levels, versus an expected increase of 1.8 levels. All students in the graduation class received acceptance to at least two quality private or magnet high schools of their choice, and as a group they also earned $2 million in scholarships and financial aid to high quality high schools. We are proud of our alumni, and in particular would like to highlight the class of 2006, who participated in an important survey regarding college attendance. Link was able to reach out to 48 out of 55 alumni from the Class of 2006. Of those students, 100% graduated from high school this year and stated that they will attend college this fall.

  • Corporate Partnership Program
    Dear Friend: Educational inequality is a national issue, especially in underrepresented communities. Young individuals who, simply by chance, have been born into low-income zip codes do not, and most likely will never, have the same educational and career opportunities as their more privileged peers. This disproportionate access to quality education is an injustice to young students, and its long-term effects negatively impact communities for decades, or even generations to come. We cannot idly stand by while the trajectory of a person’s life is determined by chance. For nearly three decades, SEEDS has worked to close this gap and change the lives of motivated, high- achieving students from low-income households in New Jersey through one thing: ACCESS. SEEDS has delivered life-changing educational opportunities to more than 3,000 students and counting, ensuring they have the knowledge, skills, access, and support needed to thrive at the nation’s finest educational institutions. SEEDS Scholars graduate at rates exceeding those of the wealthiest communities and far exceeding that of their peers. This level of sustained achievement requires a community committed to continuing and advancing this cause. We require YOUR help. SEEDS Corporate Partners play a vital role in reducing the educational disparity experienced by students of lower socioeconomic statuses. Therefore, I am proud to share that SEEDS now offers Corporate Partnership Packages, allowing companies such as yours to not only support the education of promising students, but to truly change the course of their lives. Enclosed for your review is our partner prospectus, inclusive of customizable opportunities, an overview of SEEDS programs, and student statistics.
