Exploring the physics of light.
Exploring the physics of light.

The physics force visited our school for an exciting evening of science exploration. Families enjoyed dining together and learning together as they explored the physics of light.

The physics force helped guide us through a series of experiments to learn more about light and its properties. We really enjoyed predicting the outcomes of our experiments. It was a great interaction of adults and children learning together in a fun and inviting environment.

“The Physics Force” is an outreach program established in 1986 by the
University of Minnesota to help K-12 students develop more positive attitudes about science.  Members of The Physics Force are Jon Barber, Dan Dahlberg (Professor of Physics at the University of Minnesota), Jack Netland, Fred Orsted (teacher at Maple Grove High School), Aaron Pinski (high school teacher at John F. Kennedy), and Hank Ryan. Barber, Netland, and Ryan have recently retired from careers as High School Physics and Chemistry teachers.
