The
2009 AIP Quiz for year 12 physics students in Tasmania was held on
August 29th at the Australian Antarctic Division at Kingston. Unfortunately it
was necessary to cancel the plan to have a
simultaneous session at Launceston College for northern and
north-western students. The
winning team came from Hutchins, with teams from Elizabeth College and
Friends second and third.
The
AIP gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Rio Tinto Alcan,
Moonraker Australia, CSIRO Publishing, the Australian Antarctic
Division, the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of
Tasmania, and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in sponsorship
of the Quiz.
The
2005
and 2004 quizzes are still available
for download as PDF files. The quiz was not held in 2006 or
2008. The 2007 quiz
was won by a team from Hutchins School.

What
is it like being a physicist? What are job prospects? Look at what Tasmanian
physicists have to say.
We have a colourful
brochure illustrating a range of the physics done in Tasmania.
For
secondary teachers and students of Physics and other Sciences, look for
the Australian Academy of Science project Science
in the news. For readable articles on latest developments in
physics, the American Physical Society produces Physical Review Focus.
What fields
of science will shape Australia's future? The Australian
Academy
of Science has identified eight. Physicists will be involved in all of
them. Physics education is a focus of the Institute of Physics
PhysicsWeb
January 2004.
The
AIP has three grades of membership
- Associate, Member and Fellow. Branches in every
State organise local activities. You can email the National Secretariat,
which is located in Melbourne. The AIP contributes to
national science policy through FASTS.
The
Tasmanian Annual Report
from the last Annual Meeting is available.
The
Branch Committee thanks the School of
Mathematics and Physics at the University of Tasmania
for hosting these pages.
