The setting will be Regener Hall, rm. 103 at the University of New Mexico Saturday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m. for an evening of fun, entertaining and enlightening displays of the physical sciences titled, “From Newton to Einstein: A show of physics demonstrations.” The event will feature the University of Oregon’s Stanley Micklavzina of “Dr. Stan’s Science Circus.”
Other presenters will include Steven Shropshire from Idaho State University and UNM’s Kathryn Dimiduk from the Physics and Astronomy department.
Physics – the science of waves and light can provide interesting and unique demonstrations of interest to all age groups. The presentations for the event have been carefully chosen to entertain
elementary and middle school age children. They have been woven into a theme to engage high school students and parents with the ideas and physics principles behind the demonstrations. It’s a show for all ages.
The event is presented by the American Association of Physics Teachers in conjunction with the celebration of the World Year of Physics 2005. It is free and open to the public.
