Fun Physics You Can See: Lasers, Holograms, and Spectroscopy
 Final Report
Abstract
This activity is a presentation that will teach students and adults about the science behind many interesting visual phenomena. We will show through various demonstrations the physics of subjects that have always captured the interest of the general public. We will introduce some theories of lasers, optics (lenses and holograms), and spectroscopy (colored light and "glow-in-the-dark") while de-emphasizing the reliance on mathematics.

Physics Fun Fair
Final Report
Abstract
The Society of Physics Students of Virginia Tech held a Physics Fun Fair for elementary school students, thanks to funding from a Marsh White Award. Students from the Blacksburg area were treated to several simple demonstrations illustrating various basic physics concepts. We were able to obtain a room in the Squires Student Center of Virginia Tech on Saturday, April 5, 2003 for our event. There were approximately 35 students who attended the fair, and they all seemed delighted by our experiments.
