Faculty/Staff Detail

Karen Downey, Chemistry Department, and Eric Edlund, Physics Department, took the wind tunnel (WEN-D) to Smith Intermediate School for demonstrations on Thursday, March 24. The demonstrations coincided with the third-grade classes’ science lessons about weather, which involved talking about high and low pressure in relation to winds. Seven classes of third graders participated and tested their homemade and science kit anemometers with the wind tunnel. The wind tunnel was built in January 2021 by Edlund and his physics classes to study aerodynamics and lift forces.
