Description

This show explores matter, energy and how they interact. Through fun demonstrations and discussion, students can:

• investigate magnetic braking and Lenz's Law
• visualise magnetic fields with ferrofluids and nanoparticles
• examine electric fields, electrostatics and plasmas
• explore properties of sound including standing waves, harmonics and resonance
• experience angular momentum and gyroscopes
• experience different forms of electromagnetic energy including lasers and infrared
• use persistence of vision and find out how a stroboscope can help to freeze motion.
• learn about Bernoulli’s Principle, air resistance, and fast moving air.
