Wesleyan Physics Professor, Dr. Christina Othon, and students from her lab came to visit the Green Street Arts Center last week.
The Othon Lab led an activity for our AfterSchool elementary school students on one of their early dismissal days. The students learned about physics concepts, specifically the force called drag by making paper helicopters. In groups, they experimented with different variables to make the paper helicopter that fell to the ground the slowest while learning about the physics behind flight.
Thank you Dr. Othon and friends!
