Participants got to \u2018see\u2019 sound with fire, walk on a non-Newtonian fluid, see Bernoulli\u2019s principle in action, witness thunder and lightning in the classroom, launch see-through rockets in the dark, see smoke rings, and much more! Supplies for the demo show were sponsored through the HSTA program, the Department of Mathematics and Physics, and Marshall University. The workshop was hosted by Drs. Sean and Sachiko McBride with assistance provided by two Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) students working with Dr. Sean McBride that are funded by the National Science Foundation (Isabella Mays \u2013 William and Mary and Brennon Craigo \u2013 Marshall University) and Darby McGinnis, a member of MU\u2019s Society of Physics Students.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3321 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-walk-on-liquid.jpg\" alt=\"Physics demo - walking on liquid\" width=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-walk-on-liquid.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-walk-on-liquid-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-walk-on-liquid-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3322\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-fire.jpg\" alt=\"Physics demo - seeing sound with fire\" width=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-fire.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-fire-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3323 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-pressure.jpg\" alt=\"Physics demo - force spread over a large area prevents a balloon from popping\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-pressure.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-pressure-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3324\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-bernoulli.jpg\" alt=\"Physics demo - showing Bernoulli's principle with toilet paper\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-bernoulli.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/cos\/files\/physics-demo-bernoulli-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Approximately 100 rising ninth graders from throughout West Virginia who are part of Marshall University\u2019s annual Health Science and Technology Academy (HSTA) had a fantastic experience at the Science Demo Show on July 9th.
