Education
Science Education staff support a range of educational programs. One popular program is the Physics Fest, seen here. K-12 classes take field trips to Jefferson Lab for this interactive program designed to give students an awareness of the research conducted at Jefferson Lab and to demonstrate the changing characteristics of materials caused by temperature and phase.
