  1. Physics Outreach at Campus International School Presented by the Cleveland State University Department of Physics

  2. After School Physics Club • Who? Members of the Cleveland State University chapter of the Society of Physics Students and after-school students at Campus International School, a public school in Cleveland, OH • What? Fun and interactive activities with a different physics theme each month • Where? Campus International School (K-4), a local public school following the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program • When? After school once every month (since January 2011) during the academic year • Why? To get young students excited about science and higher education by nurturing relationships through learning

  3. 2012-2013 Physics Themes • Lesson 1: An Adventure to the MOON • Walking on the Moon, Your Weight on the Moon, Space Helmets, Phases of the Moon (illustrated with Oreos), and Moon Craters! • Lesson 2: Shocking! Learning about Electricity • Shocking Demos, Creating Static Electricity, Building Circuits, Conductive Clay • Lesson 3: The Physics of Superheroes • REAL Spider Silk (and a pet Tarantula!), non-Newtonian fluids, Supersonic Hearing, Invisibility, and Super-Strength

  4. 2012-2013 Physics Themes • Lesson 4: The Impressive Power of Air • Shooting an Air Cannon, Using Air Pressure to Break a Stick, Holding Air Under Water, Magdeburg Spheres, and a Vacuum Chamber • Lesson 5: Sink or Float? • Cartesian Divers, Building Boats from Foil/Popsicle Sticks/Straws, and Investigating Buoyancy
