This is why most microwave ovens have turntables — the heat is more evenly spread out. How can Brian, Sierra and Mary show that this is what’s happening inside the microwave?

The Little Shop of Physics

December 4, 2009

The Little Shop of Physics travels with hands-on science experiments which we’ve shared with over 250,000 students. We don’t just show students science — we help them DO science! Our goal is to teach people that science is something anyone can do. Each year we see about 20,000 students—not including the 5,000+ folks who attend our yearly Open House at Colorado State University.
We primarily work with students by visiting schools all over the region. But we also work with teachers through our teacher workshops and the community through our Everyday Science TV show.
