Michael Calter,
associate professor of chemistry, teaches Denae Clinton and Jason Pawson
how to make a substance called “oobleck” from corn starch and water. The
material acts like a solid and liquid, and teaches students about basic
chemistry. The chemistry lab visit was coordinated by graduate student
Anna Komor. |

Brian Stewart, associate professor of
physics, demonstrates the power of electricity by melting aluminum foil
and generating a shower of sparks. He also gave a "jumping ring" and
electrostatic generator demonstration.
In addition, graduate students Samantha
Lawler and Darik Velez gave the students tours of the Astronomy
Department's observatory. The event was arranged by Jennifer Hadley,
