The show consists of entertaining and educational demonstrations typically used in UW-Madison's introductory physics courses. The Traveling Show visits schools, churches, scout troops, retirement communities, etc. A typical show lasts about an hour and is presented to an audience of 50-400. After the show, audience members are invited to further explore physics using our hands-on demonstrations. Multiple shows can be given in one day. We adapt the presentation to the audience, varying the explanation and activities to suite the ability level.
