AI Thread Summary
The 2024 AAPT Summer Meeting is scheduled for July 7 to July 10 in Boston, MA. Attendees are excited about the return to in-person conferences after the pandemic. One participant will present two posters: "Visualizing the Ideal Gas with Differential Forms on a PV-diagram" on Sunday evening and "Kinetic Energy in Galilean and Special Relativity - a unified spacetime interpretation" on Monday afternoon. There is interest in connecting with others attending the conference and sharing insights, particularly from past attendees like @robphy, who is encouraged to provide notes or links from their experience.

I'll be there Sun July 7 to Wed July 10.
Anyone else going?

I used to attend at least one meeting (Winter or Summer) each year.
It's my first in-person AAPT conference since the pandemic.

I have a poster on Sunday evening

Thread 'How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?'

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...

Thread 'Help with educational research!'

Hi all, I am in the process of adding physics to my teachable subjects, and I have a project due soon where I have been asked to improve upon a Leaving Certificate Physics experiment. The only thing is I haven't actually taught physics yet, and was wondering if any teachers could share their thoughts on the experiments and any challenges you have faced or any improvements you would like to see made to the experiments.
