The WKU Department of Physics & Astronomy will host “Nightmare on Physics Avenue” from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28, in Kelly Thompson Hall on the WKU campus (next to the Hardin Planetarium). Free for the public, this event will feature Halloween-themed science activities and demonstrations. Wrapped candies will be provided by the Physics & Astronomy Department (while supplies last), and the one and only Big Red will be in attendance!
The activities begin at 5:30 p.m. at the entrance to Kelly Thompson Hall (next to the 12-foot skeleton!) Guests will walk up and through the second floor, experiencing physics-based thrills centered on Halloween scares. Physics students and instructors will explain the underlying science of how these demonstrations and activities work, and there will be opportunities for WKU students to earn points by scanning a QR code located within the tour. These points can then, with permission of their instructor, be used for extra class credit. The event continues until 7:30 p.m.
Professor of Physics (and Crypt Master) Dr. Gordon Emslie explained: “There will be surprises and delights, and spooks around every corner. We have hair-raising – literally – machines that Dr. Frankenstein would have wished he had.” He added: "We want to emphasize the Halloween theme, so we will all be in costume, and we hope many of our guests will also come dressed for fun. We welcome guests of all ages, and we promise a lot of fun for all.”
The “Nightmare on Physics Avenue” event is sponsored by the Society of Physics Students, the Hilltopper Astronomy Club, and Women in Physics.

Super Saturdays encourages students in grades 1 – 6 who are of high ability or have high interest in a topic to pursue their passions outside the regular classroom. Through a minds-on, hands-on approach to learning, students explore and investigate such areas as math, art, science, history, writing, music, and performance under the thoughtful guidance of experienced teachers and in the company of enthusiastic, like-minded peers. Each year, over 1000 students enjoy the benefits of Super Saturdays.
The Center offers two different three-week sessions of Super Saturdays each year. The first session is offered in the early fall and the second in the winter. Courses are listed by grade levels and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. When registering, you will submit the student’s top three class choices. If the top (#1) choice is filled, they will be placed in the next available class. Students will be in the same class for all three Saturdays.
