E935: Water and Materials: Love? Hate? or Both? in Splash Spring 14 (Mar. 29, 2014)
Why doesn’t your raincoat get wet? Why can you use a towel to dry off? Can a water strider walk on any liquid? Through a series of fun activities we will discover how water interacts with different materials. We will then alter materials and the water itself to see how those interactions change.


T890: Peacocks, Beetles, and Cathedrals in Sprout Spring 14 (Feb. 15 - Mar. 01, 2014)
What connects peacock feathers, beetles' exoskeletons, and cathedral stained glass? In this class, we will explore structural color - how it works, where it occurs in nature, and how we can use it to engineer materials. In class we will use demonstrations, experiments, and discussion to learn about this materials science phenomenon.


E731: Water and Materials: Love? Hate? or Both? in Splash Fall 13 (Nov. 09, 2013)
Why doesn’t your raincoat get wet? Why can you use a towel to dry off? Can a water strider walk on any liquid? Through a series of fun activities we will discover how water interacts with different materials. We will then alter materials and the water itself to see how we can change those interactions.
