Little Shop Of Physics
A Colorado State University professor has discovered how to get teens excited about science. Jones’ Little Shop of Physics consists of 200 experiments using common household products that spin, glow, magnetize and mesmerize, to explain everything from sound waves to riding waves. He’s even had students in university classes who say they remember what they learned in his Little Shop of Physics.
Using combs, cones, smoke and mirrors — combined with scientific concepts, more than 15,000 kindergarten through 12th-grade students a year learn physics can be fun when they visit Brian Jones‘ “Little Shop of Physics.” Brian Jones, a Colorado State University professor, has discovered how to get teens excited about science. He tells DBIS, “Half of our message is what science is. We’re teaching people what physics is about. But the other half, and this is just as important, is that science is really cool.”
