Out of This World Physics

Course Description

How are holograms made? How do we use levitation? Where does cosmic radiation come from? What elements are found in our sun? Through experiments, see how physics can answer these questions. During this hands-on course you will make your own hologram, levitate a superconductor and tour a real research lab. You will hear about what stars are made of and how they die. Join us in discovering how “out of this world” physics can be used in everyday life.
To get the most out of this mini-course, it is suggested to have a grade 9 level of math or higher. Advanced concepts will not be suitable for students without this minimum background knowledge.
