S16083: The Atom: Theory and Experiment in Splash 2025 (Mar. 15 - 16, 2025)

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics with an opportunity to get up close and personal with real experimental apparatuses. Some live data collection and analysis included.

S16084: magnets: how do they work? in Splash 2025 (Mar. 15 - 16, 2025)

Can you hear a magnet? Can you see a spin? What is the field in the nucleus of an iron atom? Why do our magnets explode if we don't feed them $4000 of liquid helium every year? Answers to all these questions and more!

S16149: The vacuum: how low can you go? in Splash 2025 (Mar. 15 - 16, 2025)

A low-pressure class. May contain plasma, solid nitrogen, baking, and $10000 worth of scientific equipment. Free space. Nothing to see here.

S15708: The Atom: Theory and Experiment in Splash 2023 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2023)

Explore the evolution of the theory of the atom - with an opportunity to get up close and personal with real experimental apparatuses. Some live data collection and analysis included.

S15709: magnets: how do they work? in Splash 2023 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2023)

S15196: The Atom: Theory and Experiment in Splash 2022 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2022)

Explore the evolution of the theory of the atom - with an opportunity to get up close and personal with real experimental apparatuses such as a Crookes tube, Rutherford's gold foil experiment, double-slit interference, cloud chamber trajectories, the photoelectric effect, discharge tubes, and a Stern-Gerlach apparatus. Some live data collection and analysis included.

M12334: What is a vector? in Splash 2018 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2018)

No magnitude. No direction. No arrows. No lies. The general truth about day 1 of every STEM class.
