Outreach

Professor Arges and the research group performing Outreach Activities in East Baton Rouge Schools.

Outreach activities aimed at learning algebra through observation of scientific phenomena. For example, Faraday's law of electrolysis was used to relate measured electric current to electrolyte flow in food batteries. Another example is measuring current flow in solar cell used to generate hydrogen fuel from an electrolyzer that is subsequently used to power a toy car via a fuel cell. Another activity had students learn about plasticizers for improving the mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride plastics (PVC). Plasticized PVC is used in intravenous fluid bags. In this activity, students determine the Young's modulus of the plastic by analyzing the slope from stress-strain data.
