P.O.P! The Physics Outreach Project: The Phenomenal Forces of Physics Class
- Shocking Science: A demonstration of electric charge using a Van de Graaff generator. Kids will get to touch electricity, watch their hair stand up straight when charged with static, and shock their friends with a high-five. I can do cool stuff inside on the carpet with that one that can’t be done outside, so it’ll do well for the 1 inside event.
- PIVNERT: a demonstration of how temperature, pressure and volume are all related. Participants can learn to crush their pop cans with the power of atmospheric pressure, can make marshmallows grow without even touching them, and can make their own little version of a submarine.
- Pressure and flow: a demonstration of how air has mass and how that impacts us. Kids will get to use my Bernoulli cannons and shoot pompoms at their friends, brave participants will get to experience the weight of the air around us using a contractor bag, and we will use balloons to demonstrate how a bed of nails isn’t as scary as it seems.

Library 4 o’clock Fun Club
The Library Fun Club is the perfect opportunity for school-aged children (up to 12 years old) to enjoy a variety of activities at the library! Kids can learn, complete homework, discuss books, play games, or color fun pages. While activities are guided by a librarian, there is no formal babysitting available, and most activities are self-paced, allowing children to participate at their convenience. For children under 8, we kindly request that parents or guardians remain on-site, as drop-offs are discouraged.
Activities are subject to change according to interest or librarian preference.
HURRAY! A Certified K-8 Teacher will be present most days in Ucon, Iona and Ammon.
