    The Science of "Suds"

    Get ready to think outside the bubble! Have some good clean fun exploring the captivating, colorful science of soap and water. Uncover the mysteries of bubbles’ shape, see what happens when you make bubbles with different gases, and push the limits of what suds can do. Who knows what we’ll put in a bubble next!

    Grades Pre-K-5
    Extreme Air

    See the amazing power of air as we make objects hover in mid-air, break a board using only a ping pong ball, and explore the effects of the pressure that surrounds us. You’ll be blown away by our extreme air finale!

    Grades
    4-8
    Global Soundscapes

    Embark on a mission to investigate the dramatic soundscapes of Costa Rica’s rainforests, Hawaii’s coral reefs, and Mongolia’s vast grasslands. Learn how animals use sounds to survive and communicate in lush, but threatened environments. Funded by the National Science Foundation.
    Requires a stage screen and sound system.

    Grades
    4-8

    ACTIVITY STATIONS FOR GRADES K-9

    Ideal for larger events, Activity Stations are tabletop demonstrations and hands on activities designed to engage groups of students or families in 5-10 minute walk up experiences. More than one station can be booked for an event. Please be sure to mention audience size when booking.

    Electricity

    Learn about static electricity using a Van de Graaff generator. It’s a hair raising experience!

    Polymers

    Investigate the slimy, absorbent, surprising world of polymers and explore how we use them in our everyday lives.

    Dry Ice

    Investigate the states of matter using dry ice and participate in some “cool” experiments

    Air Pressure

    Can you score a basket using just the power of air? Use our Bernoulli blower to harness air pressure to control the path of a beach ball, and investigate other ways that air affects objects.

    Bubbles

    Explore the science behind the suds. Investigate what bubbles are made of, what shapes they take, why they float, and much more.

    EXTREME AIR PROGRAM

    Hosting a STEM event or Family Science Night? Contact us to ask about our NEW Extreme Air Package! Start your event off with our exciting Extreme Air Show, followed by engaging hands on activities for families and students. It’ll blow you away!
