TITLE:  SCIENCE SHOW

AUTHOR:  Bob Barnett, KINGFISHER HIGH SCHOOL, OK

GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT:     9-12

OVERVIEW:  Physics needs to be a class students can be creative
in and enjoy.  These same students can be the best science
recruiters for younger students.

PURPOSE:  To help students be creative and involve younger
students within the school system.

OBJECTIVES:  The students will:
  1.  Students will be able to research a topic.
  2.  Students will be able to adapt what is learned.
  3.  Students will be able to teach lessons.
  4.  Students will involve other students in their learning activities.

RESOURCES/MATERIALS:  Depends on concepts picked, Be Creative

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
  1.  Students will need reference material to find experiments and
ways to show concepts in physics to younger students.
  2.  Do not let students use material as listed in reference
material but make them substitute items and uses that will achieve
the same results.
  3.  Research reference material should take one day and then two
days of experimentation for students to be familiar with concepts
and their uses. 
  4.  Students will spend one day showing their labs and explaining
their concepts to elementary and middle school students.

Notes for Instructor:
  Instructor will need to guide students when they pick their concepts
and their uses.  Help students modify the labs.  Example:  If lab
shows reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Calcium give off CO2.
Use eggs in Hydrochloric Acid mixed with water to float eggs with CO2
given off and clinging to eggs.  Raises and lowers eggs in liquid.
  The instructor will need to secure a time with elementary
school for showing.  You will be amazed at the increase in science
interest that will be generated by elementary students.

Resources: Vary.....Do not limit, "Magic", Physics, Chemistry, etc.
