In addition to the 45 minute to 1 hour stage show, choose any combination of up to five hands-on science experiences. Everyone participates! Everyone is involved! Each hands-on experience is enhanced by a 7 foot tall pull-up banner, adding to the excitement for participants! Click on the titles below for further descriptions of the five experiences.
"Ready, Set, Rockets!" - Make and launch a rocket 200' in the sky! Chose from over 15 unique rocket designs. Rockets are crafted from printed color-card stock paper, complete with rocket fins and colorfully printed "flames" shooting from the base. Completely safe, using NO explosions, flame or heat. Students learn about pressure, air, rocket balance, gravity, trajectory, plus so much more. The "Ready, Set, Rocket" experience also includes stomp rockets, rocket balloons and so much more!
"Super Slime" - "Oooh...Gross...This is Awesome!" Students use their OWN hands as Chemists as they measure, pour, mix and test their own unique mixture of "Super Slime". Make Slime...YUCK! Make Gloop...GROSS! Make Glow-in-the-Dark Atomic Worms...DISGUSTINGLY COOL! Students learn measurement, scientific testing, gravity, viscosity, elasticity, polymers, plastics and long-chain carbon-based structures...with their hands!
- "This is a totally
ELECTRIC experience!", including 3 plasma globes, a hand-crank generator, a Van De Graff generator (creating over 400,000 Volts of static electricity) and much more! This hands-on experience will leave your hair stand on end! Learn about electrons, conductivity, open and closed circuits, electrical safety, plus so much more. Totally safe, totally exciting and totally electrifying! This hands-on experience is sure to bring a spark to student learning!
Science in a Bag! - "This is just like being a real Scientist!" This classic reaction is a wonderful experience for young learners to make scientific observations and view evidences of chemical changes! The red liquid is squeezed ...
woah...a vivid color change...
double woah...this side is HOT! The other side ...
yikes...another vivid color change...
double yikes...this side is FRIGID COLD! Mix all ingredients together...but the results of the rest of the reaction will remain a surprise...and an exciting surprise, indeed! Safe, non-toxic and easily disposable!
Magnet Mania! - Yes this is the most "attractive" of the Hand-On Experiences! Students learn about electrons, attractive forces, repulsive forces, poles, charge, plus much more. Includes ferro-fluid (magnetically attractive liquids), red/blue polar spheres, iron magnetic field location, "World's Strongest Magnets" and so much more! This hands-on experience captivates students ages 3 to 83 years! They say, "Opposites Attract - Likes Repel"; this magnetic experience is sure to "pull" students right in to fun and learning!
Josh seeks to make the Birthday boy or girl the "hero" of their special birthday party. Several interactive components place the birthday boy or girl at the center of the action. At several portions of the stage show, the "main science-star" wears a special lab coat and goggles. During the climax of the chemistry show birthday party, the "science-star" pushes the red button and explodes a ping-pong ball across the room!
