AVS
has conducted a two-day in-service workshop on low-pressure
experiments and modeling for middle and high school science teachers
from the United States and Canada since 1990. Attendees are
sponsored by regional Chapters of the Society with all expenses paid
by the sponsoring Chapter.
The workshop is divided into two parts: (1) lectures on the underlying science
and the mathematical calculations and (2) hands-on experience in which a group
of teachers perform experiments and develop models under the guidance of an
instructor team.
