Last friday we all experienced some fun presentations of energy and light from Tom Vales. I felt like I was back at a field trip to the Museum of Science. I think it’s really great to let college aged students still learn the fun way with things, especially with science. It gives everyone a moment to relax and really soak in what they’re seeing.
This guy really knew what he was talking about, and he had great examples to back everything up. I loved that we could actually participate and hold certain objects to experience these things as well. It’s amazing what magnets, hot water vs cold water, and simple electricity can do. Even though some of his items were only available as a learning tool, I was still intrigued with everything he had to show us.
I’m sure I can speak for most of the class when I say that for a brief amount of time, I felt like a kid again because I was really enjoying his presentation. It was definitely worth the wait!
