The mission of lecture demonstrations is to provide services to the Harvard chemistry and physics faculty within the Science Center. We will provide visual demonstrations for a wide variety of topics to supplement lectures including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology. Lecture demonstrations have two important purposes: to increase student understanding of the concepts demonstrated, and to increase student enjoyment of class.
Natural Science Lecture Demonstrations consists of a team of physicists and chemists who develop, construct, and present scientific demonstrations for lectures in the Harvard Science Center. Working with members of faculty and testing our skills in machining, electronics, and dazzling imagery, we aim to clarify and enhance the scientific concepts presented in lectures with visible, memorable, and sometimes mind-blowing effects.
Where to Find Us:
The offices for the Lecture Demonstrations are located in the Basement of the Science Center in room B-08A. We can also be found down the hall in the Prep Room setting up the demos to be pushed out into the halls. Feel free to stop by or call at (617) 495-5824. The official address is:
