Each day we will select two or three experiments from the following list, depending on weather and ability of the students. We reserve the right to change the subjects as necessary to meet the needs of the children. The age group for all programs is 5 - 11. All students will be together for the introduction and story part of the lesson, but for most of the experiments they will be split into two groups by age.
Hot Air Balloons: Fill a huge balloon with hot air and watch it float up in the sky like a jellyfish.
Glow Sticks: Put glow sticks in hot and cold water to see what happens and then cut one open and experiment with the chemicals. (non-toxic)
Gigantic Soap Bubbles: Make bubble creatures, snake bubbles, square bubbles, and bubbles with you inside!
Lasers and Mirrors:Give yourself 1000 eyes, create the illusion of a tunnel deep into the earth, make a laser show, and instantly create 10 of anything you can draw.
Spinning, Smoking Sticks: Use skate-board wheels plus a bow and arrow to create smoke and maybe even fire if you’re lucky.
Straw Rockets: Shoot a straw clear out of sight with a tube and an ordinary balloon.
Black Light: Create artwork that is transformed into something else when we turn on the ultraviolet light.
Water Rockets: Launch 2-liter bottles with air pressure and then with air pressure plus water. Improve the design by making it more aerodynamic to see how far it will go.
Wind Chill Factor: Feel what happens when wet hands meet high winds!
Dry Ice: Make fog, bubbling potions, and screaming pieces of metal with this versatile material.
Pop Guns: Discover how to launch a cork across the classroom with a piece of tubing.
Smoke Rings: Try all kinds of containers to see if you can make smoke rings.
Balloon Rockets: Launch screaming balloons all over the place and try to make them come back to you.
Heat Bags: Mix a little iron powder, a little charcoal, and a little salt water to see if you can make it hot enough to melt the mixing cup.
Liquid Crystals: Discover how to make yourself invisible to infrared night vision goggles.
Helium Balloons: These balloons can go up… they can go down… but can you make them stay right in the middle?
