-------------------------------------------------------------------- PHESTIVAL of PHYSICS On Sunday 4-April-2004 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 will be entertaining and educational. This demo show will emphasize the topics of light, electricity and magnetism. There will be colorful lights, sparks and arcs. It promises to be an enlightning and electrifying event. 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.
