The Gateway to 21st Century Skills

The Physics Show at Foothill College. We learn how he comes up with new ideas each year, and why the 'bed of nails' finale never ceases to amaze.

The show has been presented by Professor Clint Sprott on the Madison campus over 200 times to a total audience of about 70,000. In addition a traveling show has been developed and presented by physics graduate students and staff over a thousand times to audiences of all ages throughout Wisconsin and the nation. A variety of educational tools and materials have been developed including videos, software, a demo book, and a lecture kit.

Energy's education programs help ensure an adequate supply of scientists, engineers and technicians for energy-related research, production activities, and the transfer of technology. The advancement of science, mathematics and technology education is an essential part of DOE's mission.

To help our team members, especially the newer ones, test their knowledge of the rules we are in the process of creating quizzes based on the game manual. We've completed the Game and Arena quizzes, and are working on the Rules quiz now. You can check them out at http://www.squidoo.com/logomotion-rules.
