We are back and at a new location... This edition of the Physics Teacher's Workshop is on Friday April 10th at MacEwan University. We start the day with Stefan Cartledge (MacEwan University) talking about extrasolar planets and methods used to detect them. Martyn Unsworth (University of Alberta) then guides us through the techniques such as magnetotellurics we use in exploration of the Earth. After the included lunch, we have hands-on workshops about the Solar system and the Expanding Universe from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics .
