Physics shows

Since 1953, the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society together with the Institute of Physics of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (recently also the Association of the Lublin Educational and Scientific Society) have been organizing Physics Shows. It is an event with the longest tradition in the country among its kind. The shows are intended for students, teachers and anyone interested in physics.
The idea of the Shows in Physics is to popularize physics and help in teaching it by presenting thematically selected, interesting and sometimes even fascinating experiments. Experiments that are difficult or impossible to perform in school conditions are shown, as well as those that can be repeated at home using the simplest means. Every year, in the atmosphere of having fun with physics, the Shows at the Institute of Physics of UMCS are watched by several thousand spectators.

According to viewers:


"The experiments were very effective, all the more so that the students could not only observe them, but also participate in them. Practical classes motivate to learn more about the laws of nature and show the usefulness of physics and its connections with various areas of life. The scientists presented all this to us professionally, interestingly and with a hint of humour.",

"Thanks to these shows, physics is no longer a barrier for us. We know why airplanes float in the air and we realize that the human eye can play pranks. We also saw that everything around us is irradiated, even wristwatches !",

"As every year, eighth and seventh grade students of our school participated in physics shows organized by the UMCS Institute of Physics, the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society and the Lublin Educational and Scientific Society. The program of the 60th shows included: rotational motion, heat, electric current and Young people had the opportunity not only to see spectacular experiments, but also to take an active part in them: Foucault's pendulum, Coriolis force, skin effect, Rubens tube, convection, plasma ball and centripetal force - these are just some of the fantastic experiments we could see. these had practical references to our everyday life.",

"On September 27, 2017, students of the second and third grades of our high school went on a trip to Lublin. The purpose of this trip was physical shows organized by the Institute of Physics of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University. Physics revealed to high school students hitherto unknown phenomena, and for students the extension of this subject, the presented experiences were an ideal preparation for the final exam.
The program of the show consisted of four different sections: electrostatics, radioactivity, acoustics and mechanics. Some of the shows were devoted to the patron of the institute (Maria Skłodowska-Curie) on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of her birth. The possibility of communing with physics in practice caused that it aroused great interest among the participants of the trip. Scientists presenting the shows in an unusual way presented curiosities in the field of this discipline, which inspired our high school students to actively participate in classes (participation in experiments and asking questions).",

"It's another year when students from J. Chreptowicz High School No. II take part in the Physics Shows organized by the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society of the Institute of Physics of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University. On September 20 and 27, 2012, 174 high school students from classes about leading subjects mathematics - physics - computer science and biology - chemistry - physics The idea of the shows is to popularize physics and help in teaching it by presenting thematically selected, interesting, even fascinating experiments. cooperation with university lecturers, are convinced that this popular science event is an extremely attractive form of learning for young people. Students have the opportunity to come into direct contact with the experiment, see the course of physical phenomena live, the demonstration of which in school conditions would be impossible for many reasons. the opportunity to observe unique experiences, all impressively presented, and many of them in an atmosphere of fun.
This is undoubtedly a great asset of the shows, especially appealing to young viewers. Students from "Chreptus" watched the laboratory demonstrations with great interest and absorbed the knowledge passed on. Some of them (Dominika Kowalska, Jakub Węgłowski, Marcin Łyjak, Łukasz Jasik, Paulina Siepitowska, Bartek Klauziński - students of class Ib and Maciej Surmański, Sebastian Pecio, Dominik Cieślak - students of class II b) had the opportunity to play the roles of leading "physical show ". Scientists from the university presented experiments together with students, both difficult and complicated, as well as those that can be repeated at home using the simplest means. How to generate electricity? How to use electricity in ecology, or how to get rid of soot from smoke in a simple way? The students of "Chreptus" learned the answers to these and many other questions. The physics teacher W. Studzieżba, who every year enjoys the successes of his charges - Olympians and winners of physics competitions, claims that the Physical Shows significantly affect the work of students: they awaken their curiosity about the subject, inspire them to conduct experiments, and result in results in competitions, Olympiads and impressive results at the high school final exam. No wonder that teachers and students willingly participate in the Lublin Science Festival.",
