Rochester Review--University of Rochester magazine


Crash course: "Physics by Inquiry" class tackles its subject head-on. How much impact does it take to smash a soda can? Students in Frank Wolfs' special physics course test out laboratory predictions by strapping sample cans to go-cart bumpers and driving into each other. One fact they easily ascertained is that smashing full cans as opposed to empty ones produces satisfyingly dramatic results.
