Bringing Physics Presentations to Students Remember why you became a scientist! Visit a classroom, Inspire young students. Fermilab scientific and technical staff can share demos ready to take to a local classrooms.
for PresentersTo volunteer, contact Nancy Lanning.

Charge! Electricity and Magnetism Grades 3-5 Fermilab scientists know how magnets big and small work and how they apply to our world. Students explore the relationship of magnetism and electricity and have questions answered about the power of these forces. |
Forces and Motion Grades 4-8 Speed, motion, momentum, gravity, forces. These realities control our world, but sometimes we don't understand the differences. Fermilab scientists share activities and demonstrations to help students develop a deeper understanding of the concepts of force and motion. |
Physics of Sports Grades 7-12 Fermilab scientists guide a discussion and exploration of the impact physics has in a variety of sports. Explore the why's and how's of better equipment and techniques or learn how to ananlyze swings, strokes and more. Inspired by the Active Physics series and other materials. |

Light and Color Grades 2-6 Light helps us learn and explore our world! Students explore the phenomenon of light and how the waves and particles produce our colorful world. |
Stories of Science Grades 5-8 The world of physical science past to present to future contains drama, characters and intrigue. This presention weaves histories and stories of present-day scientists with content and stories of future science. |
Cosmic Rays Grades 9-12 Bob Peterson will take the QuarkNet detector to schools. He and the students will collect data in the classroom and upload the file to our web portal. Students can use the portal to access a network of these detectors scattered around the country, analyze data and use its tools to publish their findings. |

Cryogenics Show Grades 2-8 This assembly-style show demonstrates and involves students in the fascinating field of supercooling. Fermilab engineers use liquid nitrogen to supercool magnets for least resistance; other industries use supercooling too. Learn about this cool field. |
Physics in the Real World Grades 6-12 Scientific and technical staff share the real world of physics. What are their days like on the job at Fermilab? What do they do? How do physicists learn to be problem solvers? What research are they doing? What kind of tools do they use? |
Space, Time and Einstein Grades 7-12 Can you catch up with a ray of light? What happens when thing go very fast? Einstein realized that space and time (what are they?) get mixed up. How many dimensions are there? Does gravity have anything to do with electricity and magnetism? |
