NSDL/NSTA Year 2 Web Seminar 12
Enlightening Experiences with Energy
The National Science Teachers Association and NSDL have partnered together once again for the 2007-2008 school year, offering another exciting round of web seminars for teacher professional development showcasing NSDL experts and resources.
For seminar 12 (June 12, 2008), Enlightening Experiences With Energy, NSDL featured our experts Dr. Cathy Ezrailson, Associate Professor of Science Education at the University of South Dakota and John Roeder, AAPT Teacher Resource Agent and physics teacher at the Calhoun School in New York City.
Our presenters explored the phenomena of work and energy using exemplar resources from The Physics Front, a digital collection of resources for K-12 teachers related to physics. This collection is a part of a larger collection, comPADRE, the NSDL Pathway for Physics and Astronomy.
Additional Resources- The Physics Front
- comPADRE: NSDL Pathway for Physics and Astronomy
- Seminar reference list for online materials discussed in the seminar and more
- Powerpoint Slides of Presentation and Seminar Archive
- Expert Voices: Careers in Science, an ongoing blog featuring NSDL Web Seminar presenters sharing how they became interested in careers in science.
