Audio recording of session B19 of the March 2015 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in San Antonio, Texas in March 2015. This session was chaired by Catherine Westfall, Michigan State University. Talks (and speakers) include: "The Use of Theater and the Performing Arts in Science Education and Teaching of History" (Brian Schwartz); "Bruno, Galileo, Einstein: The Value of Myths in Physics" (Alberto Martinez); "Teaching Physics to Future Presidents" (Bob Jacobsen); "Composing Science" (Leslie Atkins); "How Things Work: Teaching Physics in the Context of Everyday Objects" (Louis Bloomfield). Topics discussed include study and teaching of physics, Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, composition studies, context-based introductory courses.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
