From brains to the Big Bang, take a crash course in forefront science with the NSF Physics Frontier Centers including hands-on activities and summer opportunities.
Physics Frontier Centers (PFCs) are literally supposed to rewrite the laws of physics. These interdisciplinary research centers span a broad range of superlative science: the coldest, fastest, hottest, biggest; and span the globe (e.g., South Pole). Join us for some science headline news, a series of demos and activities grounded in the classroom but based on the latest in cosmology, biophysics, plasma physics (e.g., measuring the size of the Universe with a digital camera or using cookies to model stellar plasmas); and a smorgasbord of opportunities for you and your students: distance learning, research internships, outreach programs (near you and in Zambia), visiting science shows, and field tested activities that integrate science on the edge.
