The Physics Table is a series
of demonstration programs (typically 10-15 minutes or less) illustrating
basic principles of physics and some of the technologies related to
them. Dr. D tailors the presentation
to the visitors present at the time, and we hope to reach the smallest kids
up through grad students (and/or interested parents and grandparents). Each program includes as much audience
participation as we can work in, and our goal is to surprise, educate and
entertain. Come learn with Dr. D and
bring along those older kids. Existing
and (in some cases) proposed programs are detailed below. Check them out as we get them posted (this
site is under heavy construction!) by clicking on the links below. If a table entry is not yet an active
link, please check back later. If you
or your child is interested in some particular topic, please stop by or
e-mail me (see link below). I may be
able to accommodate your interest or refer you to other resources. |

I don’t have some of the descriptions or background pages ready yet, but I expect to include a summary of each program, a few diagrams or photos, background info and links where appropriate. The goal is to pique interest and maybe prompt some study before (or after) the program. The linked pages will be prepared very soon and in the order of the schedule. Please check back often! |
