MIT Science on Saturday: Physics

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.
