Isaac and Alberts Excellent Adventure - There is a tradition at North Carolina State University of using demonstrations in our Physics Classes to show students the reality behind the equations. The Physics Department and The Science House have extended this tradition by giving an annual program to share the excitement and magic of physics with everyone. Every year around the nation, students compete in regional tournaments hosted by research institutions, aquaria and federal laboratories that are involved in oceanographic and aquatic research and education. By winning their regional competitions, these teams qualify to participate in the national competition. Here are the rules, scores, and pictures from previous events.
Site includes a description of the show, contact information, and facility requirements.
Physics Demonstrations, Lectures, and Workshops - Programs run by universities, museums, science centers, industry, and other organizations can greatly enrich learning for students of all ages, by providing materials and technical expertise few teachers could have. They enhance the curriculum by presenting science in new and exciting ways. Sharing Science - Developed and implemented to create an interactive means of sharing science. Another primary motive of this site was to bridge the gap between elementary schools and the high school through interactive activities. If attempted it can become a practical method to enhance collaborative activities throughout the school community.
