To demonstrate how the length of a piece of string can affect sound. To construct a paper bridge that is strong enough to support several "vehicles" while demonstrating the force of tension. To demonstrate how different pitched sounds are made. To demonstrate how light rays interact with smooth surfaces to form reflections. To demonstrate how string instruments work by building our very own miniature guitar from a matchbox. After this experiment you will be able to differentiate static electricity from current electricity and answer the question, “What kind of electricity is produced when you rub two materials of different kinds?”
To find out how static electricity is produced. To demonstrate how water displacement causes objects (such as ships) to float rather than sink. After this experiment, you will be able to name the parts of the simple electric circuit and answer the question, “When does electricity flow in the circuit?” To construct a simple electric circuit and identify its parts.

To demonstrate how elevators work through a series of pulleys by constructing our own elevator system. After this experiment, you will be able to construct your own parallel circuit and answer the question, “Why are the electrical devices and appliances in the home commonly connected in parallel?” After this experiment, you will realize the importance of the fuse and be able to answer the question, “How can a fuse help prevent fire caused by faulty electrical wiring?” To demonstrate how sunlight can be intensified through a magnifying glass, concentrating energy to melt an ice cube.
To explore how one can create bubbles that are long lasting or permanent. To lift an ice cube from a glass of water using a string. To demonstrate the earth's magnetic force by creating our very own compass in a jar. To identify a hard-boiled egg from among a dozen, the remainder being uncooked eggs and thereby demonstrate the Inertia of an Egg After this experiment you'll be able answer the question "Do larger objects fall faster than lighter ones under the same conditions?" To demonstrate Galileo's falling objects experiment that states "What goes up, must come down". After this experiment you will be able to answer the question, “Why did the glass vibrate when you rubbed your index finger against the rim of the glass?” To determine if friction can cause a glass to vibrate. To demonstrate the principle of buoyancy of warm air. To demonstrate the dynamics of air pressure To put an egg into a bottle and take it out intact using the properties of air pressure. You will be able to see and possibly hear the lightening as it’s created! To create your own lightening using just a few simple tools – things that you are likely to find already in your home or at the grocery store. To build a device that will trace the lines of the Earth's magnetic field. To find out how electromagnetism works by constructing an electromagnet and be able to answer the question “How does electromagnetism work?” These are the first Goldwater Scholarship awards associated with UCCS in the past 10 years! The awards can be up to $7,500/year for up to two years.To demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion by constructing a balloon-powered rocket car. Camley and, as a result, is a coauthor on a published paper with several UCCS physics faculty members and an international collaborator. Arjun Kudinoor, who is now at Columbia University, took both undergraduate and graduate physics classes here at UCCS while a high school student! He also did some research, on magnetic materials with an exchange gradient, with Prof. UCCS Physics also had a strong connection to another Goldwater Scholarship winner this year. She is an avid researcher, with interests in both biophysics, magnetism, and space physics. Kaitlin designed and created a near-field scanning microwave microscope, one of only a few in the country. The first is Kaitlin McAllister who is an undergraduate Physics major working with Prof. Physics is happy to announce that two students connected to our department have recently won the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship Award.
