Perfomed various Physics Demonstrations for the local community
During both semesters, our chapter was frequently asked to preform physics demonstrations (Demo Shows) to schools around the city and
surrounding counties. We organized three major shows during the fall semester. For one of the events elementary school students were invited to the
university. We preformed two of these shows on The Grove's stage. The Grove is a large green area where football fans go to tailgating on the
weekends and students go to study and throw frisbees. However, on the days we preformed our shows, we took over the stage and taught physics to
eager elementary students and several University of Mississippi students that stopped to see what was going on.
In October, we help our department with the Spooky Physics Night. This is an annual event where the department opens its door to the community
and have a Halloween themed demo show. We (SPS) help decorate, preform the demo's, answer children's questions about physics, and clean up.
In the spring, we had another two days of demo shows. We went to the local elementary school (different from the one above) and preformed 12
demo shows over the course of 2 days. Each show had to be no longer than 40 minutes and we had an average of 30 2nd to 3rd
graders in the classroom at any given time
