Learn how the Sun's massive size and incredible heat energy drives weather on Earth from thunderstorms to tornadoes. Explore the tools meteorologists use to take measurements and predict weather. Find out why warm, moist air feeds storms and how to become a storm-spotter.

Students discover how waves are part of their daily lives from sound to water to light and energy. Vibrations made on a spring introduce students to the parts of a wave and demonstrate the relationship between frequency and wavelength. They will observe how faster frequency waver waves result in shorter wavelengths. Using sound waves, students learn how frequency and wavelength determine the pitch.

NEW! Launch your students into space and excite them about Newton’s three Laws of Motion! How do Newton's Laws work on Earth? Do they work in orbit? What is microgravity? Find out in this action (and reaction) based program!

NEW! Investigate reflection, refraction, and diffraction in a series of laser demonstrations. Learn how lasers are used for communication as students use a laser beam to send information across the room.

NEW! Lights! Camera! Action! Set designers rely on science for special effects in science fiction movies. In this sci-fi extravaganza we’ll take a look at Hollywood’s tricks of the trade and the principles behind them. From crazy camera tricks to shocking electrical marvels, this presentation will have you on the edge of your seat!

NEW! Explore the electromagnetic spectrum and find out how it reveals the visible and the invisible in our universe. Become an astronomer and use your “light detectors” to observe and draw conclusions about temperature and the composition of stars.

It's all about the states of matter in fun demonstrations and exciting experiments using liquid nitrogen. Become atoms in role-playing activities and see how atoms move differently in a solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Materials fee of $20 per program is required.
