Arcs and Sparks Using a Tesla coil and a Van de Graff generator, discover the fascinating world of electricity and charged particles. Explore sparks, static electricity, attraction and repulsion. Comets - Snowballs from Space What is the white ball in the sky? Where did it come from? Cryogenics - The Ultimate Cool Using liquid nitrogen, let us show you about the properties of heat and its effect on matter. Experience what occurs when heat is removed from a gas, a liquid, and a solid. Fire and Fury Exothermic Reactions (those that give off heat) are of great interest
to everyone, mostly because they want to see things blow up. However,
the chemistry resulting in the emission of heat and light are of
interest to scientists because of the explanations of the physical world
that result. In this demonstration, we use scientific principles to
explain some rather amazing phenomena! Let's Have a Gas In this demonstration we examine the common properties of gases and consider chemical reactions that produce gases as a product. Reactions of pure gases are also explored. You will get a BANG out of this demonstration. Putting the Squeeze on Science Pressure is a common phenomenon in this world. Have you ever wondered what causes pressure? Are there different types of pressure? Can they be weak or strong? This demonstration looks at various aspects of air pressure. We will use various experiments to show how pressure causes weather and even how it causes Hot Air Balloons to fly. Super Duper Chemistry Chemistry is everywhere! It is used every time you cook something, every time you start a car and even every time you eat and digest food. Come and unravel some of the mysteries of chemistry during this fun and informative demonstration. Who Puts the Fizz into Soda Pop For the younger crowds (or the young at heart), we will make soda pop using carbon dioxide, water, fruit crystals, and a lot of fun. Students will be able to taste the results. Participation is encouraged.
