The Physics
Factory is a team of scientists and educators with a common goal: to share
their enthusiasm for physics with students, teachers and the community.
Through a combination of hands-on learning and eye-popping stage shows,
The Physics Factory aims to show that physics is an exciting process of
discovery and invention, and a rewarding career.
Please have
fun exploring our site and learning more about The Physics Factory.
What's
new :
- We
completed a very successful 2007 summer tour with a record 25 performances
in one month. Thanks to Raytheon & University of Phoenix for making
it possible!
- The
Physics Factory has a new bus! After
the truly amazing feat of making it all the way to Boston and back,
our beloved blue and silver Physics Bus swallowed its last gulp of veggie
oil in Benson, AZ. After months of searching high and low for a donation
big enough and a bus worthy enough, we have found both! Through the
generosity of the Ralph L. Smith Foundation we purchased the beautiful
green "Helibus", a smoke-jumper mobile base station. It is
now powered by Eegee's used fry oil, donated by Grecycle.
Our new system is custom from local GT Motorworks.
- Our
instructors and students have fond memories of our 2006 summer cross-country
journey (fueled by veggie oil, of course!) Visit our trip
page, and please check out our trip log
as well!
