MIT and the Edgerton Center present a one-hour show of large-scale on-stage physics demonstrations, with audience participation, followed by hands-on physics activities for kids at tables in the auditorium lobby.

Our next Science on Saturday K-12 presentation on the MIT campus will be Physics on February 7th.

This show will be presented by MIT’s Women of Physics, who will show the public a number of the MIT Physics Department’s large-scale, on-stage demonstrations (of Newton’s laws, electricity, magnetism, and other principles) that are usually only seen by MIT students.

Volunteers from the audience will be able to assist with the on-stage demonstrations.

After the stage show, there will be many different hands-on activity tables where kids can do their own experiments with various aspects of physics.

All of our Science on Saturday events are free and open to all elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as their parents and teachers.
