March 15, "The Physics of Sports!" Prof. John Bohn Candice Alisa … Sat, 03/15/2025 - 08:46

It might seem like our favorite athletes defy the laws of physics, but this
is not so - they work with physics, just as we all do. Come and learn
about how motion, energy, and balance contribute to the things we all do in
sports. We will have lots of audience participation, including an activity
for everyone who attends!

Have you ever asked yourself: How do clouds form? Why do they have different shapes? Why do some clouds rain and others just move on? What do I need to make a cloud? Can I make a cloud at home? Join CU Wizards on January 25th when Dr. Katja Friedrich, a physicist who has ventured into the Alps and Rocky Mountains to better understand the physics of clouds, storms and mountainous weather, will talk all about cumulus clouds: the water cycle, weather, and about how the air we breathe is influenced by the Earth's dynamic forces.

This in-person show will allow K-12 students and families to join Prof. Friedrich presenting a special behind-the-scenes look into the science behind clouds!

CU Wizards webinars and shows are geared for young students and families who love learning!
