Angelo State Peer Pressure Team Science Demonstrations for Middle School

ORAL

Abstract

The Society of Physics students at Angelo State University formed a community outreach program, active since 2003. The program consists of several demonstrations aimed at generating excitement about science among late elementary to late middle school aged children. The name “Peer Pressure” stems from the selection of demonstrations involving static and dynamic pressure that are part of the program. We will discuss the motivation for and details of our demonstrations. In addition we will demonstrate portions of our program.
