Busking, an established activity on Grafton Street Dublin, brings culture to the streets of Dublin. A team of Irish Science teachers and pre-service science teachers will be present on Grafton Street on July 7th, to share physics with the passing public as part of ESOF Dublin City of Science 2012. This will be repeated on July 14th at the Convention Centre where visiting scientists will be attending ESOF and also at ‘Pop Up’ venues.
These events are coordinated byPaul Nugent at Science on Stage Ireland, the Institute of Physics (IOP) in Ireland and CASTeL. Interaction is essential and members of the public will have the opportunity to partake in demonstrations of Archimedes Law of Forces shown with a tug of war, Bernoulli’s Law for Fluid Flow with a giant windbags, Faraday’s Law of Induction shown with a simple motor, vortex blower, musical straws, windmills and rockets and much more.
The event is free and the passing public are invited to interact with science concepts using simple everyday items.
So come along and join in !!!!
