Family Physics Demonstration
September 25, 2003
CARROLLTON, GA - Light and lasers! Mysterious materials! Physical illusions! Although it sounds like an exotic magic show, these phenomena will actually be part of the 33rd Annual Physics Demonstration Night to be held Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Marion Crider Lecture Hall of the University of West Georgia’s Boyd Building.
Dr. Ben de Mayo, professor emeritus of physics, will present various physics demonstrations for the audience (appropriate for anyone older than 6 years).
Although
de Mayo has been the primary demonstrator through the years, he has been
assisted by other Physics Department faculty such as Dr. Javier Hasbun
and Dr. Julie Talbot.
“I have kept doing this show because it's rewarding to do something
nice for the community, especially the kids, and because it’s a
lot of fun,” de Mayo noted. “I’d like to keep demonstrating
for another 33 years!”
The event is sponsored by UWG’s Departments of Physics and Continuing Education, as well as NASA- the Georgia Space Grant Consortium. For more information, contact de Mayo at 770-838-3119 or Continuing Education at 770-836-6610.
