La main a la pate  Some Recent Outreach Activities
  (Note: I am not involved with the programs whose logos are to the left, but I get ideas when reviewing these pages.)
 
Free Fall, Gravity, Simple Machines, and Some Physics Fun: J.J. Finley Elementary School's 75 3rd Graders
  (repeated 25 Jan 06 and 24 Jan 07: Newberry Elementary School, 4th grade, 4 sessions of 30 min. each with ~22 students per session.  A BLAST!)

  Fun, Force, Free Fall, Friction, Physics, Push, Pull, Gravity:  Newberry's 75 1st Graders

SPICE  Rolling Cans for Fun and Thought: Mrs. Field's 2nd Graders
 
Aluminum Boats, Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream, and Pulleys: Mrs. Field's 3rd Graders

Absolute Zero   How does low temperature physics affect our daily lives?
   A two-part public television special airing in 2007, will demonstrate how
        civilization has been profoundly affected by the mastery of cold.
