Date:	Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Time:	4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Place:	Toronto, Danforth CTI, 800 Greenwood Ave., Room A76
Topic:	Roberta Tevlin will present Hands-On Cosmology.

Roberta has been teaching physics in Toronto for 25 years. She is rather fanatical about modern physics and Physics Education Research and spends her spare time looking for ways to combine them to make high school physics more exciting and inviting. She has given workshops to this end around special relativity, general relativity, particle physics quantum uncertainty and entanglement. She is a consultant for the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical and the coordinator of PI’s Teacher Network. In her spare spare time she plays New Orleans jazz at Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto.

Play with elastic bands and paper clips, explore balloon geometry, wander with Alice and Bob in Wonderland and analyze real astronomical data to see how you can expand the universe and your mind.

Afterwards: Please join us at Sarah`s Cafe and Bar for further discussions!( http://www.partywithus.ca/ , 1426 Danforth between Greenwood and Coxwell)

Please pass this information on to the other physics teachers that you know and bring them along!"
