Engage your students with the experience of physics in action! Our "science of thrills" experts will motivate your students by bringing physics to life in the exciting surroundings of our world-class theme park. Join Dr. David Wright, Professor of Physics at Tidewater Community College in Virginia, during the high-energy, Physics in Motion show, offered exclusively to Physics Day students.
Physics students will get one hour of exclusive park ride time, interactive physics stations located around the park, plus a live physics interactive show. Teachers will receive a free copy of a physics guide packed full of in-class instructions with advance registration.
Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay will open one hour early at 8:30 a.m. exclusively for Physics Day students on March 22, 2013. This gives students the unique opportunity to experience our world class roller coasters and make some of their physics calculations without having to wait in line.
Enhance your students' educational experience by visiting our Animal Biomechanics Interactive Stations. Measure bite force, take a closer look at 'super' abilities, and estimate the speed of a variety of animals. Plan approximately 20 minutes for each station.
