Magic of Physics

November 8th

Children's Room, Main Library

This is the World Year of Physics commemorating the pioneering contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905. We began with demonstrations of various magic tricks and scientific experiments. Then children made a come back toy, a ping pong puffer, and learned tricks that rely on the laws of science.

Some magic relies on illusion. Some magic relies on science.

Using ropes to saw a body in half is an illusion.

Children made their own come back toys using the principles of kinetic energy.

 Lad demonstrates the forces of air pressure using his new ping pong puffer.

Practice makes perfect.
