An AIP Quiz for year 12 physics students in Tasmania
will be held in August 2009.
The most recent one was held on Saturday, 6 October 2007. To
save student travel the event was held simultaneously at Launceston College,
for northern and north-western students, and at the Australian Antarctic
Division at Kingston
for southern students. The two venues were linked electronically. The
event was won by a team from Hutchins
School.
The 2005 and 2004 quizzes
are still available for download as PDF files. The quiz was not held
in 2006 or 2008.

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.
