  1. Conquering Quantum Physics One Photon at a Time Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia Physics Education – Junior PhysicsQuest – Becky Thompson - American Physical Society Jamie Garrett

  2. What is PhysicsQuest? • Story-based activity • APS provides a free PhysicsQuest kit • Kit includes: • Comic book • Materials for 4 experiments • Students work together to complete four experiments to answer questions. They then submit their results to APS for a chance to win prizes.

  3. Meet Spectra PhysicsQuest is sent out to 3500 teachers a total of 13,000 kits!! She is the PhysicsQuest Super Hero!

  4. Her nemesis this year…

  5. What did I do? The Photoelectric Effect Each Contains: 3 Spectroscopy Teacher Edition Student Edition Key Term Sheet Resources Angular Momentum and Rotation Absorption Spectra

  6. TO TACKLE THIS PROJECT 1. Read about my topics • 2. • Brainstorm ideas

  7. MY FIRST TOPIC: The Photoelectric Effect

  8. The Photoelectric Effect My activities include… SOLAR CELL • Light gives the electrons on the cuprous oxide panel of the solar cell enough energy to become free to conduct electricity. • The higher the energy of the light source the greater current in the solar cell.

  9. To demonstrate fluorescence

  10. MY OTHER TOPICS: Spectroscopy Angular Momentum and Rotation Absorption Spectra

  11. More Activities…

  12. Tuckahoe ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Einstein Fellowship Poster Session Newton’s Apple Tree Clone at NIST

  13. Firework
