RSO - Science Outreach Club

The Science Outreach Club is a student organization funded by the Physics Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our goal, as local educators of science, entails the traveling and or setting up of experimental shows with elementary schools within the Amherst area.

The experimental shows have become limitless with possibilities; we've put together presentations applicable to kinematics, optics, thermodynamics, electricity, pressure, simple machines and many more.

From sandwiching students between two beds of nails, to freezing and smashing virtually every food in liquid nitrogen and even making beakers disappear through the techniques of optical illusions: we're an enthusiastic group of college students, eager to spread the word of science.
