Final Presentation

Outreach is an engaging way of teaching science in which the boundaries of a classroom and a curriculum are broken down and, in their place, grows interactive and fun learning. SPS provides undergraduate physics students with a variety of resources to either kickstart their outreach journey using the Science Outreach Catalyst Kit (SOCK) or simply provide veteran students with some ideas for the next outreach event through the demonstrations on the SPS website. This year’s SOCK uses food to teach about physics in space. The SOCK includes two demos, one that simulates gravitational waves in jello, and the other shows impact craters in a brownie. Besides the SOCK, some general demonstrations were created and uploaded on the SPS website and they range in topic, difficulty, and the target audience. All of these resources are free for any student or any chapter to access and use.
