The MIT Traveling Plasma Lab provides a one-hour demonstration of the principles of plasma science. Using a glow discharge plasma, an emission spectrometer, and such ubiquitous substances as nail polish remover, local dirt and a pickle, students discover the unique properties of the plasma state. They role-play as environmental detectives while identifying pollutants in the environment. The lab brings a truck-load of hands-on demonstrations and experiments into schools to show students that science is not an inaccessible topic, but a source of fascination and fun.
