your students to the exciting world of plasma physics and let them discover the fourth state of matter for themselves at the Plasma Sciences Expo, November 20, 21, 2008. Teachers and students can talk to plasma scientists, as well as view hands-on displays and a variety of exhibits. Make lightning; manipulate plasma with magnets; observe your fluctuating body temperature on a special monitor; play a video game to learn how to confine plasmas in a fusion device. Funds for school buses are available. |
