Hands-on Workshops
All of our hands-on workshops are available to be booked as a field trip or outreach to your school (unless otherwise noted).
Workshops for Pre-K - Kindergarten
Outreach Big Science Shows
We bring our larger than life science experiments to your school! Choose from the following themes. Each show ends with time for questions and answers. Please note that a space of at least 20 x 20 feet is required along with a high ceiling. Auditoriums, cafeterias and gymnasiums are usually great spaces. Space requirements will be confirmed after booking.
$400 per show.
Duration: approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Bubblemania - Bubbles come alive while we become “Bubbleologists” and investigate molecules, shapes and colors.
- Fire & Ice - Experimentation with temperature is taken to the extreme when we battle fire and liquid nitrogen in an explosive demonstration of physics and chemistry.
- Magic of Matter - We experiment with chemistry and liquid nitrogen to uncover the “magic” behind why some materials behave in unexpected ways.
- Math in Space - Explore the stages of human flight outside Earth’s orbit and the mathematics that make it possible.
