It's In The Bag

Sunday we went to the UWM Physics Building for the UWM Science Bag. It was a lecture by Prasenjit Guptasarma, otherwise known as P.G. He was an excellent speaker and held the attention of elementary children, college age children and adults.

The topic was "Living in a Material World". We learned about robotics, energy, and that a microwave and light up a lightbulb. That is making me rethink using a microwave. This lecture had a lot of moving visuals, and excellent video which enabled you to see everything up close.

These science bags are FREE, and open to the public. They are hosted on Friday nights @ 8:00 p.m. and one Sunday a month at 2:00 p.m.. They will skip the month of December and resume in January. Located in the Physics Building, in room 137 - this is a must to see. The building is located on the corner of E. Kenwood Blvd. and N Carmer Street.

Topics for the rest of the year are
January - Wisconsin's Green Quilt: Patterns of Native Plant Communities
February - Bumblebee Buzz: What's Happening to our Pollinators?
March - Global Warming and Alternative Sources of Energy
April - Antarctica: The Past is the Key to the Future
