Paul "Pablo" Robinson gave all @ThePTSOS workshop participants the pieces needed to make his baseball Atwoods machine. Pulleys get attached to either side of the wood and eye hooks allow a full baseball and a half a baseball connected by string.

It wouldn't be a @ThePTSOS workshop if there wasn't a large giveaway table!

High school physics teachers.... this is a REALLY BIG deal! First IN PERSON HS physics teacher camp since 2018. This is one of my absolute favorite events. It's one day. It's cheap. And you learn SO MUCH. sites.google.com/site/physic… #modphys #edchat #scichat #iteachphysics @AAPTHQ
