Welcome
Fluffy
Science
was
created
for
100th
Anniversary
of
Poland-US
Diplomatic
Relations
by
the
Polish
Cultural
Institute
in
NY
under
collaboration
with
Michigan
State
University
and the University
of
Warsaw.
Science
workshops
will
be
performed
by
the
Poland-US
team
under
supervision
of
coordinators
Prof. Gary Blanchard and Dr. Magdalena Osial.
Fluffy
Science
is
focused
on
the
popularization
of
science
through
chemistry
and
physics
workshops.
We
want
to
show
that
science
is
everywhere!
Everyone
can
do
science
using
household
materials
that
showcase
spectacular
chemical
reactions.
We
also
use
stories
about
famous
Polish
Americans, who changed the history of science through their amazing discoveries.
Understanding
scientific
principles
can
be
easy
and
fun
and
does
not
require
a
fully
equipped
laboratory.
You
can
perform
experiments
in
glass
jars
and
using
safe
chemicals
like
baking
soda
or
vinegar.
Let’s
create
a
hovercraft,
see
what
the
plastic
is
made
off,
create
a
model
of
DNA,
and
discover how light behaves when in contact with air, liquids and plastic.
Much
of
the
modern
world
exists
due
to
the
amazing
discoveries
made
by
scientists,
Nobel
Prize
winners, engineers, and many other scientific superheroes.
Science
is
everywhere,
and
you
may
see
it
easily
by
doing
simple
experiments
and
observing
the
results.
There
is
nothing
better
than
being
a
scientist.
Gaining
knowledge
is
fun,
so
let’s
rock
science!
