LSOP in Action: Powwow 2023
The Little Shop of Physics has been part of the annual AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) Powwow for a decade, and it’s one of the highlights of our year. We are honored to be asked to take part, and pleased to be able to provide an interactive science exploration component for the families [...]LSOP in Action: Solar Eclipse at CSU Spur, 2023
On October 14, 2023, the Moon passed directly between the Sun and the Earth, an event known as a solar eclipse. The Little Shop of Physics spent the day at CSU Spur sharing this awesome natural phenomenon with the public!Amplify Show Me Some Science: Up in the Air
Here on Earth where Amplify is located, gravity pulls objects down towards the ground. This month, we explore how to keep the objects up in the air. There are a couple of different physics-related phenomena going on here: Buoyancy When the black bag is placed in the sun, air expands and a buoyant force makes [...]Everything You Need to Know About Solar Eclipses
Here at Little Shop, we find solar eclipses to be very exciting! In celebration of the upcoming solar eclipses on October 14, 2023 and April 8, 2024, we've put out this video. We will be hosting an eclipse viewing party at CSU Spur's Second Saturday on October 14, and the eclipse will reach its peak [...]Show Me Some Science: Fog Ring Launchers
These fog ring launchers are drum-shaped with a circular hole on one end. Air is forced out through the hole and travels in a vortex, a spinning doughnut of air. It’s like a little tornado that has wrapped around in a circle. Air in a vortex travels a surprisingly long distance in a straight line. [...]Get Your Science On: Chladni Plate
In this video, Donnie and Cecilia talk about how to build a Chladni Plate. This is a simple device that lefts you visualize waves. A speaker gets a plate vibrating, and some spots on the plate (antinodes) vibrate a lot while other places (nodes) don't move at all. Sand or iron filings lets you see [...]LSOP in Action: Spring Science Extravaganza 2023
On April 23, 2023, the Little Shop of Physics hosted our Spring Science Extravaganza. Thousands of people came out to this free, public science event!Spring Science Extravaganza: When Bears Fly
