The January 2021 AAPT National meeting was held virtually. In the Make, Take, Do & Share ‘session,’ members shared links to 5 minute videos describing their share. We have added these resources below.
(more will be added (at the bottom) in the next few days as members share them on the national page
Introducing Equivalent Resistance using Straws, Joe Cossette
Teaching Feynman Diagrams, George Kontokostas

As a physics teacher, a huge concern is that I am not able to do things with equipment with my students, especially my AP students. I took a chance a gave my students an opportunity to build their own electroscopes and I think it worked out really well! Here is a folder with my screencast, instructions, and example videos 🙂 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sONfkw-XR6DWJaqwLtrqMGAj4UzIpu-c?usp=sharing or https://tinyurl.com/y2fgxaoy

I recently made a video using a thermal camera attachment to my iPhone, to help explain a hot water heating system, to my students. 640×320 117MB: http://energyteachers.org/movies/Infrared_study_of_boiler_systems.mp4
It’s 5 minutes. Here’s the 1280×720 350MB version: http://energyteachers.org/movies/Infrared_study_of_boiler_system.mp4

PTRA– Make a visual connection for students and the Third Law ‘s “Forces ALWAYS Come in Pairs.” An artificial pear cut in half (or a full size laminated picture of a pear) has a paper strip or ribbon pulled out of the middle with FORCES printed on it. Shared at a PTRA Institute. Have your students make VECTORines for Valentine’s day. These can easily be done by students at home too. Example Newton’s Forces Draw Me to YOU! (With appropriate illustrations).

Website for anyone interested in using Jupyter CoLab as a tool for physics. It is especially helpful in our hybrid/remote situation.
Mechanics labs via YouTube, Lee Trampleasure
A description of my physics mechanics distance learning labs designed to present videos to students that closely match what they would do in the classroom. As close to ‘hands on’ as you can get without getting your hands on.
OSP Tracker, Paul Beeken
If there are any OSP Tracker fans out there we have a trifold quick instruction sheet we hand out to our students for using tracker for video analysis: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I1swkD8Q0QGFpc0tXfvz2kBmiB7ctf6G/view?usp=sharing
