Past Program Sessions

June 10 Session – The Magic of Magnetism

Dr. Joshua Knobloch from the Department of Physics at Utah State University will explain why magnetism is one of nature’s fundamental forces—powering everything from motors and electrical generators to computer storage and medical imaging.

In this session, young explorers will dive into the science of magnets: how they interact, their connection to electricity, and how invisible magnetic fields can be revealed using a fascinating liquid called ferrofluid.

July 8th Session - Angular Momentum

Dr. Joshua Knobloch from the Department of Physics at Utah State University will explore some fascinating questions: Why are tops well balanced when spinning? How do ice skaters rotate quickly during their jumps?

The answer lies in angular momentum—a principle scientists use in everything from keeping planes stable to predicting weather patterns and the motion of planets.

In this session of Hyrum Explorers, we’ll bring angular momentum to life through exciting, hands-on “whirly” demonstrations that will twist our minds around this spinning subject.
