Lory Student Center ballrooms on the Colorado State University Campus

Kids and adults will all marvel at over 200 hands-on science experiments at this fun and informative Open House at the Little Shop of Physics.  You won’t find yourself sitting around listening to a lecture — you’ll observe, question, experiment, and DO science.

The theme of this year’s event is “It’s Up in the Air“, with an emphasis on the atmosphere.  You will be able to:

• Discover how the Earth’s magnetic field works
• Experience a tornado forming
• See the shape of air and wind
• and much more…

In addition to the hundreds of hands-on experiments, you can also visit the interactive presentations.  Some will be messy, some will be loud, and all will be educational.  A sampling:

• Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream (we need your help on this one!!)
• The Million-Volt Tesla Coil. If you haven’t seen the three foot sparks thrown from the top of this bad boy (safely, of course) then you have never truly lived!!
• Beyond the Rainbow: What’s really there, anyway?
• and many surprises…

New this year:

• Wiggly Goo Frogs
• Pointing Polar
• Convection Currents
• and dozens more!

Not only is the Open House free, even the parking is free!
