Wooster Physics Outreach Program
Physics majors Kirsten Larson, John Gamble, and Heather Moore entertain elementary school children with physics demos as part of the Physics Club's award-winning outreach program.
Bringing Physics to Elementary School Children
Wooster's Physics Club
performs science experiments for local elementary school classrooms to educate,
entertain, and spark interest in science among grade school children. In 2007,
our program won a national award
from the Society of Physics Students of the American Institute of Physics.
CoW Physics Majors have performed air pressure, electricity and magnetism,
and mechanics experiments for appreciative audiences.
In return, they have received wonderful cards & letters.
Contact Physics-Math Administrative Coordinator Jackie MIddleton to schedule a 2007-2008 visit.
For more outreach possibilities, visit the Wooster Science Education Center.
