In the three short years since that remarkable June evening in 1996 when Dr. MegaVolt emerged from the laboratory of Dr. Austin Richards and struck the consciousness of a shocked public, he has received thunderous applause from electrified audiences.

Organized by the University of Wisconsin. Includes information about the program, including shows, videotapes and demonstration software, as well as a lecture kit. Also contains links to other sites.

A group of enthusiastic UCSB Physics Department graduate and undergraduate students take a collection of demonstration experiments on the road to local schools and present an action-packed learning experience.

Developed and implemented to create an interactive means of sharing science. Another primary motive of this site was to bridge the gap between elementary schools and the high school through interactive activities. If attempted it can become a practical method to enhance collaborative activities throughout the school community.

Science experiments that can be done at home; resources for teachers; and information about the Little Shop of Physics, an outreach program of the Colorado State University Physics Department.

An academic competition for high school students that focuses on ocean-related topics. Every year around the nation, students compete in regional tournaments hosted by research institutions, aquaria and federal laboratories that are involved in oceanographic and aquatic research and education. By winning their regional competitions, these teams qualify to participate in the national competition.

NPR science correspondent Joe Palca talks with a physics professor who serenades his students with ditties about E=mc^2 and the like. Professor Walter Smith at Haverford College often plays songs on his ukulele to teach complex concepts. [5:27 streaming audio broadcast]

Describes the program, its goals and some of the results.

Whenever you or your SPS chapter "take physics on the road," you are already eligible for the Blake Lilly Prize. The Blake Lilly Prize is an opportunity to be publicly recognized for your physics outreach efforts.

Programs, events, centers, photos and purpose.

Part of an outreach program at the University of Illinois Physics Department.
