JASON @ OMSI Monday Memo: January 17, 2005 We hope you all had a good holiday weekend. We have lots to tell you about the upcoming Broadcast, including how to see footage without having to travel to OMSI. We have an update on what's happening on Mars, and how to get some fun space-related gear. For those of you looking to enhance your professional development or earn graduate credits, the JASON Academy has a bunch of new online courses for you. See below for details. IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE BROADCAST! We're busily preparing for the JASON Broadcasts and want to mention a few things to the teachers who are bringing their classes to OMSI.M.o JASON Logo Sign for Bus Please print out the JASON logo and tape it to the side window closest to the door of your bus(es). There will be many other non-JASON school groups here that week, and this sign will help our staff identify your group more quickly.

Extractions: H IGH S CHOOL High School Visitation Forty Upper Arlington High School (UAHS) Students visited EMSI on April 23, 2002 and toured the laboratories of Professors Heather Allen Christopher Hadad Patrick Hatcher and Matt Platz . After the final laboratory tour, students had lunch and were addressed by Dr. Bob Gold, Dean of the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. On December 17, 2003, UAHS visited EMSI and had the opportunity to view laboratories, demonstrations and presentations by the following: Professors Yo Chin, Linda Weavers, Patrick Hatcher, Terry Miller and Dr. Sergey J. Zalyubovsky. Following the scientific presentations, UAHS attended a lunch sponsored by EMSI and were addressed by Dr. Robert Perry, Associate Dean of MAPS and Professor of Physics. A group of EMSI Postdoctoral Researchers, Graduate Students, a Research Associate and the Program and Outreach Director of EMSI attend the lunch to talk to the UAHS students and teachers about their scientific work. They were the following: Mr. Karl Dria, Prof. Patrick Hatcher, Mr. Todd Holtzander, Ms. Samatha Lada, Mr. Mark Lavernuick, Dr. James Poole, Dr. Mike Stegemiller, Ms. Lisa Vanloon, Ms. Liwen Zhang and Megan Moses. Photo Gallery Project SEED Project SEED is a program administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS) which offers a unique opportunity for an economically disadvantaged high school student to conduct hands-on research with a scientist in a laboratory setting. Students developed relationships with scientists who present information on career paths, offered guidance, mentorship and encouragement as well as exposure to other assistance programs and preparation for college.

Project Compute is housed in the Rainier Community Center, which serves primarily African American families. Together we will offer periodic workshops for parents and families as a way to increase their own knowledge of design and engineering. We feel it is important that families know what students are doing so they can help with their take-home projects and offer support. One aspect of this effort is a collaborative effort to develop a booklet of K-12 activities, training materials, and a web site. At the coalition level, this work will contribute to a large effort to catalogue all of ECSEL¹s K-14 projects. This catalogue will include text, digital, and internet resources. In addition we will design, organize and host workshops at national conferences such as the National Council of Teacher Association, National Science Teacher Association, American Society of Engineering Education, WEPAN and student organizations (NSBE, AISES, WISE).

Extractions: Welcome to our physics learning page. We are very excited about our physics page as we believe it will remove some of the "mystery of physics" and make it much easier to learn. To study Physics we suggest you start with our chemistry page to learn about the atom, molecular structure and the elements. Then turn your attention to mathematics electronics biology microscopy , and space . You will then have a good background to learn about physics. We won't repeat material on this physics page that is covered elsewhere at 101science.com. The world wide web physics links have been moved to our new physics links page. Be sure to check them out as there is much to be learned there also.
