Physics Discovery Program at Flandreau Science Center
On Friday the 27th, the Physics Discovery Program, lead by Dr. Srin Manne, held its first outreach event. UA Physics students Jeremy Philbrick, Adrian Rose, Luke Garman, Hannah Gruber, Ellen Jesina, and Julien Barrosse presented an impressive array of demonstrations and activities to an excided group of 8th graders. The Physics Discovery Program is a joint effort between LPL and Physics to provide physics outreach experience to our graduate and undergraduate students. The program events take place at Flandreau Planetarium. Tucson area schools send classrooms of students to the planetarium where the Departments of Physics has a room set up with four physics demonstrations/activity stations manned by our students. The demonstration stations include mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, and E/M.
