Every year, a limited number of high school and elementary classes get to experience the fun of an Adam Sarty Physics Show. They witness marvelous and amazing demonstrations of spinning, sound, nuclear physics, electricity, magnetism, and more.

The shows are tailored to suit the age of the students. A show for elementary students is fast-paced and entertaining. Professor Sarty takes familiar objects (magnets and bicycle wheels, for instance) and reveals the unexpected within them. It seems like magic, but it’s not... it’s physics! The focus is on generating excitement about physics and about science in general.

A show for high school students has the entertaining demonstrations, but also offers information useful to any student who is considering applying to university in the near future. “What do you need physics for? What is a university physics course like? What can you do with a degree in physics?”...these are questions that Dr. Sarty will answer in this added discussion section.

The best times for Prof. Sarty to visit a class are the following:
(1) during the university winter break (in 2004, this is February 16 - 21), or
(2) between the months of April and June.

A very limited number of shows can be booked at other times.
