Science Support Committee –HASTIMarcum Martz, CHPMedical College of WisconsinNorth Central Chapter, HPS
Recent History HPS Science Support Committee(formerly Science Education Committee) Produce “Radiation Awareness” PowerPoint for HPS Website, other multi-mediainformation for science teachers.Move participation from National ScienceTeacher’s Association (NSTA) Conventionsto regional.
Last Year SSC supported NCCHPS at the WI andMN state science teacher’s convention. Provided funding and the HPS booth.Future plan to support chapters whocan participate in conventions.
Current Events Beth Kay joins the SSC in 2008;“New Kid” Syndrome in full effect.Hoosier Chapter will be participating inHASTI (Hoosier Association of ScienceTeachers, Inc) Convention, February2-4, 2009.2009
OK, Calm Down NCCHPS had been discussing ScienceTeacher Workshops from when I firstjoined in 2000 and always soliciting help to finalize acurriculum.This went on until 2004.
WAPT 2004 Wisconsin Association of PhysicsTeachers, middle school to college-levelteachers.If you schedule it, they will come

A Few Tips Lectures Narrowly-focused topicsHPS science teacher slides are useful astemplatesUse the expertise of your chaptermembers! Paul Ward – Research UsesDan Miron – Cardinal HealthPaul Schmidt – WI Rad Health
Lecture 1 Fundamentals of Radiation RadiationUnitsNatural BackgroundRecommended as a primer for teacherswith no radiation physics background.2 presenters, 25 minutes each.
Lecture 2 Health Physics inResearch, Medicineand Education Included 10 minuteson careers
