Little Shop of Physics
The "Little Shop of Physics" is a hands-on science outreach program at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Little Shop of Physics kits include instructional materials designed to be done by students individually, in small groups or as demonstrations taught by the teacher. All experiments use simple equipment that is either provided in the kit or can be easily obtained locally. These kits allow open-ended exploration of science concepts in a way that is engaging, exciting and effective. Enough materials for approximately 25 students - $289.25 Value.
