Demonstrations25 minutes, $1 per personBone-A-Fied FactsGrades K-4 75 studentsWhy do we have bones? What would we be like without bones? What are bones made of and how do they fit together? The answers to these questions and many others await you in this engaging exploration of the human skeletal system. anatomy and physiology 5.0Dinosaur DiscoveriesGrades K-5 75 studentsLearn the facts about dinosaurs using fossil replicas and animal artifacts. Find out how scientists draw conclusions about the structure and behavior of dinosaurs based on observations of animals living today. biological change 6.0diversity and adaptation among living things 5.0 LasersGrades 5-12 75 studentsExplore the basic properties of laser light and learn how it differs from ordinary light using helium/neon lasers. Discover how sound can be used to create a laser light show. energy 14.0Light FantasticGrades 1-4 75 studentsBend, split, and bounce light exploring the visible spectrum in demonstrations that will light up the day! From making a rainbow to "painting" with light, explore the components of white light. energy 14.0Magnets to MotorsGrades 4-8 75 studentsDemonstrations with magnets and electromagnetic forces include a 3-D magnetic field view box, alnico magnets, powerful neodymium magnets, and ASC's six-foot, giant motor.
