C.P.I. Climate Project Investigation:
"The Case of the Warming Earth"
Grades 3-9 75 students
Join the ASC Green Team as we look at climate science basics. Why is Earth sometimes called the Goldilocks Planet? Why is the Earth warmer now? What does this increase in average global temperature mean to living things on Earth? How can we slow down global warming?

Movie Set Magic: Energy
Grades 3-8 75 students
Lights! Camera! Action! Before computer generated images became the norm, set designers had to rely on science for special effect in science fiction movies. Energy, in the form of electricity and chemical reactions, helped make Dr. Frankenstein's lab more shocking and phantoms more menacing.

NEW! Extreme Weather
Grades 4-12 75 students
Starting at the Sun, learn how its massive size and incredible heat energy is the origin of all weather on Earth from thunderstorms to tornadoes to hurricanes. Find out why warm, moist air feeds storms and learn how to become a storm-spotter.

Skeletal Science
Grades 4-12 75 students
Learn about the skeletal and muscular systems and why it is important to keep these systems healthy. Locate and identify bones in the body, touch real bones and discover surprising facts about how bones and muscles work together to keep us moving.

Space In Motion
Grades 4-8 75 students
How is a spaceship launched into orbit? Why do astronauts and object in orbit float around and not feel the effects of gravity? Do Newton's Laws of Motion work even in space? Demonstrations address these questions and give your students a better idea of how objects in motion behave on Earth as well as space.

That Makes Sense!
Grades K-3 30 students
Hands-on activities help students explore sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing to discover the importance of the senses. Learn how the senses work together and what they teach us about the world. Discover how the eyes trick the brain and how the nervous system interacts with the brain to allow the five senses to work correctly.

The Planet Show
Grades 2-5 75 students
Explore each of the planets and get the greatest views and the latest news from our Solar System. This includes debate over the definition of a planet and the status of Pluto.

Waves
Grades 3-12 75 students
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.

What's the Matter?
Grades 3-8 75 students
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.
