Do your students struggle with the concept of fields? What does action-at-a-distance mean? In this workshop participants will start with everyday materials and map out the shapes of various electric fields, use playdough to get LEDs to emit light, explore uniform and non-uniform electric fields and even complete an investigation to get an experimental value for Planck's constant.

Please send an email transfer of $10.00 to laurapankratz@uniserve.com for the supplies.
