VCU Physics participates in Project BEST
 
Students and teachers alike had fun learning about the physics
in the world around them.
Every year, VCU invites young students from the City of
Richmond School District to visit the University. The Department of Physics, in
conjunction with the event, puts on a series of shows and demonstrations that
illustrates the basic principles of physics.
