Did you know Pasadena has more restaurants per capita than New York City (according to the Los Angeles Times)? Even more reason to join Lab-Aids and SEPUP in Pasadena for the California Science Teachers Association Conference November 30 - December 2.
Come by our Booth #619 and talk with our amazing Science Curriculum Specialists. They can be a great resource about the current science adoption.
We will also be hosting four workshops. Come by and experience our hands-on and research-based activities, you even get to take one home.

Are these light bulbs heating up our energy bill?
2:30pm - 4:00pm
ROOM: PCC 214
Some devices are less efficient than others - how does this impact our home energy costs? Compare thermal energy transferred by two different bulb types to calculate the efficiency. Consider "lifetime" costs and trade-offs when deciding which type to purchase. Teacher Sheet | Student Sheet

Embry...OH!
10:00am - 11:30am
Room: PCC 208
