We went around to different schools in the area to show them that science is actually really interesting and cool. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the demonstrations and activities we had for them. I recently heard Vol St is experiencing budget cuts and the science practicum class is not able to go out to the schools anymore. Plus schools were starting to refuse because the demonstration took up "valuable class time". It is just sad to see how budget cuts and stingy administrators are keeping younger students see how awesome science can be!baseballcancunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958101275058592897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34480619.post-28505707931035958082011-11-22T08:38:45.470-06:002011-11-22T08:38:45.470-06:00In Europe there are lots of 'Physics Shows'...In Europe there are lots of 'Physics Shows' where groups of (often) students travel around to schools (or invite pupils) to do just these kinds of shows.<br /><br />I've done loads of them at junior high and lower high schools, with liquid nitrogen, EM, sound waves, gyroscopes &c.<br /><br />Check out europhysicsfun.org :)Helge Pettersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368235739613702092noreply@blogger.com
