Learn how everyday life is influenced by physics!
Add to Locker

Use everyday objects and experiments to become introduced to the wide world of physics! Learn how all parts of everyday life are influenced by physics, the study of energy and matter. Learn about electricity by building a battery out of lemons and limes, investigate the physics of light, color, and rainbows by creating a kaleidoscope. Become an expert in fluids by designing experiments to test buoyancy and pressure, learn why huge whales float but tiny coins sink. Use the concepts of energy and momentum to launch catapults and build air-powered cars and hovercrafts!

Instructors: 
Lee Eric Collins Annalisa Colosi

Lee studied physics and atmospheric science at Oregon State University and earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. He has taught physics at Portland Community College for the last 8 years - he teaches all levels of physics, from introductory 100-level physics to calculus-based physics for scientists and engineers.

In addition to teaching his normal classes, Lee has also created STEM activities for all ranges of students to explore at PCC's Southeast campus. He helped host several high school preview days at PCC by showcasing fun and engaging physics demonstrations to students preparing to enter college. In 2016, Lee was awarded the Excellence Award in Teaching from the League for Innovation, and he traveled to San Francisco the following year to accept the award and participate in the annual Innovation Conference.
