Physics Club Minutes 10/11/11

Physics Club Minutes from the meeting on 10/11/11, thanks to Natalie:

Outreach
Henry (Dr. Frank's son)'s school is in need of demos on November 15 or 17 from 12-1:30.
The demos should involve magnets, states of matter, motion, and/or simple machines.

SPS
SPS gives up to $2000 for research projects and $300 for outreach programs.
The turbine would be a good way to have some sort of open house about sustainable energy.
Dr. Vogel's popcorn-popping research could be continued.
Andrew Palm is going to work on the proposals for these.

SPS Membership is $20 online right now. We don't have any official members in the group right now, and we need one for submitting the proposals, at least....
Other benefits are getting Physics Today and juniors and seniors can be a part of the physics honors society. It looks good.

Zone Meeting
The zone meeting is on November 18-19 at UW-Platteville. It's basically a giant physics club meeting, and it's going to be about astronomical observation.

Fundraising
We are going to have a Hallowgrams table for homecoming and during week 10.
