Students at the CAS Elementary School learned about the properties of dry ice and other science related to physics during a special presentation by the Physics Factory last week. The Physics Factory is a team of scientists and educators with a common goal: to share their enthusiasm for physics with students, teachers and the community. Through a combination of hands-on learning and eye-popping stage shows, The Physics Factory aims to show that physics is an exciting process of discovery and invention, and a rewarding career. At the Physics Factory, students really get their hands dirty, exploring the guts of appliances and vehicles, building hovercraft and potato cannons, and all sorts of other activities. It’s not that we have anything against textbooks, it’s that they have more fun by making a good mess. Top, students inflate a balloon from the outside after it has been soaked in dry ice; and dry ice liquid is poured into a beaker.
