Our coolest Big Science Show—and by using all that super-cold liquid nitrogen in the show, we mean this literally! Have a real “blast” where freezing, breaking, launching and exploding stuff is the norm!

Liftoff!

The first step in space travel is getting off the ground, and dramatic displays of chemistry and physics principles are the stars of this show. From simple pressure rockets that show basic thrust, to actual fuel-burning “boosters,” things will go up and come down, fly overhead and go flash . . . and bang!
