Daily Science Demos

A medley of big, messy and wild experiments that take science to the extremes! See a giant oil drum get crushed, watch as one of our courageous staff gets onto a bed of nails and see a Mentos and Diet Coke explosion!

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!

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!

Become “Bubbleologists” and discover what makes bubbles good, clean fun and explore how bubbles work. This show is popular with our youngest visitors, but is sure to please visitors of all ages!

What is electricity? How do we get and use it? This shockingly fun demonstration activates historically significant equipment to illustrate the amazing effects of electrical energy transfer and transformation that is sure to spark curiosity.

What’s the matter with matter? We de-mystify the mystery of matter while exploring and experimenting with physical changes.  We’ll uncover the truth behind why some materials behave in unexpected ways.
