-------------------------------------------------------------------- PHESTIVAL of PHYSICS On Sunday November 3, 2002 at 4 PM the PHYSICS CLUB at Lock Haven University will be holding a physics demonstration show in Ulmer Planetarium. For about an hour, students and faculty will present demonstrations of physics principles before an audience. The presentations are meant to be entertaining and educational. This demo show will emphasize motion and mechanics, waves and oscillations, and thermodynamics. The show will include bangs and whistles, crashes and smashes, sprokets and rockets and much much more including audience participation. The show is for kids of all ages. It promises to be fun and you might learn something, too. The show is free and open to the public.
