Description

Participants in this Make and Take session will construct four different projects. The first is a simple device that converts a pen laser that produces a point laser into a line laser that can be used to demonstrate many physics principles. Next a corner box will be constructed alongside a total internal reflection demonstration model that can be related to many practical everyday applications. Lastly, a PVC sound horn will be built that will blow you and your students away and can be related to closed tube resonance and different musical instruments. This Make-and-Take workshop is limited to twenty participants.
