The Physics Shows are a series of fun, exciting demonstrations of the laws of nature. Expect that the lights will sometimes go out, loud noises are produced, and really “fun” scientific demonstrations.
Best age for the show is 5-12 years with the target age being elementary school. But I have taken kids in middle school and they have enjoyed it also.
The Physics Shows last approximately 75 minutes. The shows are put on by the Foothill College Physics Department. Parking is free in Lot 1.
