Physics is Phun - Water

The final Physics is Phun program for the current academic year will be held on Thursday May 2, Friday May 3, and Saturday May 4, in the Physics Lecture Halls, as usual.  The same program will be presented each evening.  Hands-on demonstrations will be available between 7:00 and 7:30, with the formal lecture-demonstration program from 7:30 until about 8:45. The program is free to all, and no tickets are required.

The program, "WATER," will include demonstration experiments illustrating
physical and electrical properties of water, changes of state of water, and explanations of atmospheric phenomena resulting from water in the atmosphere, such as rainbows, halos, and glories.

Links to the PowerPoint slides that will accompany the lecture as well as the demonstration list for the program will be found at our Physics is Phun web site, near the bottom of the page:
