This show introduces students to some truly amazing chemical concepts. In the first half, students learn the basics of chemical reactions. Exploding soap monsters and experiments with fire demonstrate the awesome potentials of mixing matter. The second half highlights the superCOOL side of chemistry as students explore the properties of liquid nitrogen.
Available in Fall/Winter
This show is all about electricity. It begins with a discussion about one of the most prevalent types of electricity in the world – static electricity. Students learn that static is much more than just an annoying shock they can experience on a dry winter day; it can make their hair stand on end, levitate objects, and even produce indoor lightning. Students will be amazed when they are able to illuminate a fluorescent bulb in the palm of their hand.
Available all year
Students review Newton’s three laws of motion in fun ways. Featured experiments include debunking the magicians’ tablecloth trick, breaking a board in half – with a volunteer’s hand (no karate training necessary), and taking a ride on a hovercraft.
