2017
Marsh W. White Outreach Award
For the 2016‐2017 school year, the Cleveland State University SPS Outreach team will bring a broader awareness of sound to the students of Campus International School (CIS), a public K‐8 school in downtown Cleveland. A constant focus will be the relationship between sound and energy to teach the children to identify how and why sounds are produced. The program will be delivered via four monthly interactive lessons delivered to the 3rd grade of CIS (a total of about 80 students) at CIS, culminating with the organized visit of the CSU’s Physics Department/SPS chapter for the Day of Physics Sound demos. In addition, we plan to work out the details of the lesson plans during the monthly Physics Fridays (program supported through the previous Marsh White awards) at the aftercare program at the CIS.
