The Fall 2006 Meeting

of the American Association of Physics Teachers, Northern California/Nevada Section

will take place at Menlo School, Atherton
http://www.menloschool.org/
Friday & Saturday, November 3–4, 2006
Save the date!

The Local Host is: Robin McGlohn
email: rmcglohn@menloschool.org

The NCNAAPT Program Chair is: Paul Robinson (laserpablo@aol.com)

Contributed talks are 15 minutes long, and take place on Saturday. Suitable topics include teaching ideas, research projects, laboratory techniques, novel demonstrations, computers, and instruction.

It's easy to submit a contributed talk: Send an abstract of your talk, with title, your name and affiliation, AV and equipment requests, and other requirements to the Program Chair, Paul Robinson, at laserpablo@aol.com. He needs them by October 6 so he has time to prepare the final program and get it mailed out.

Bring your favorite 5-minute demonstration for the popular "Show-n-Tell." Handouts describing your demonstration are encouraged.
