We offer many kinds of programs for schools including:

• After-School Programs
• Assemblies
• Science Enrichment Classes
• Family Science Nights
• Science Fairs
• Home School Programs
• Summer Camps
• Teacher Workshops

Program Costs
Hands-on school programs consist of 4-6 experiments per hour including 1-2 take home items. Program costs are $7 per child per hour, with a minimum of $100 per hour.  Assemblies consist of several entertaining experiments that are demonstrated with audience participation. A 60-minute assembly costs $200, for up to 250 students.  (Additional travel fees may apply for programs outside of our normal travel area.)

Program Topics
Available topics for our school programs are listed below. We can also customize a program to meet your specific needs.

Aeronautics – Concepts include thrust, drag, weight, and lift. Example experiments: making a 757 glider; making a helicopter; making a hovercraft, etc.

Air – Concepts include air pressure, Bernoulli’s Principle, air currents, and vacuums. Example experiments: crushing cans by changing air pressure; creating a vacuum; blowing out candles with curved air currents, etc.

Astronomy – Concepts include constellations, the sun, the moon, planets, telling time, and finding north. Example experiments: learning how to find north; making a planetarium; creating a sundial, etc.

Chemistry – Concepts include states of matter, chemical reactions, acids/bases, chemical elements, crystals, and fluorescence. Example experiments: making rubber rings; making silly putty; revealing secret messages with acids & bases, etc.

Earth Sciences – Concepts include recycling, fossils, crystals, rocks, and minerals. Example experiments: sorting minerals; making fossils; growing a bean, etc.

Electricity – Concepts include static electricity, current electricity, conductors vs. insulators, circuits, Tesla coils, and Van de Graaf generators. Example experiments: creating a human circuit, making mini-flashlights; making your hair stand on end, etc.

Engineering – Concepts include building structures, arches, domes, automotive engineering, and atomic behavior. Example experiments: stacking books on egg shells; creating tall towers; making gum drop domes, etc.

Forensics – Concepts include fingerprinting, handwriting analysis, and analyzing crime scene evidence. Example experiments: lifting fingerprints from a soda can; comparing handwriting samples; testing different markers to determine which marker wrote a ransom note, etc.

General Science – Concepts will vary depending on the combination of topics chosen. Example experiments: moving soda cans with static electricity; making a paper bridge; making colored chalk, etc.

Heat – Concepts include convection heat, radiant heat, temperatures, melting, chemical reactions, pressure, and fire. Example experiments: shattering the inside of a marble; fishing for ice cubes; writing secret messages with invisible ink, etc.

Light & Sound – Concepts include ultraviolet light, visible light, prisms, optical illusions, sound waves, vibrations, and sound travel. Example experiments: making a kaleidoscope; seeing rainbows with magic glasses; making a cup sound like a rooster, etc.

Math – Concepts include probability, reasoning, logic, math riddles, number games, and optical illusions. Example experiments: having your mind read; solving mind benders; playing a penny probability game, etc.

Physics – Concepts include Newton’s three laws of motion, center of gravity, balancing, gravity, centrifugal force, and magnetic properties. Example experiments: balancing a craft stick on your nose; making a compass; competing in a balloon race, etc.

Plants – Concepts include photosynthesis, plant survival, plant anatomy, and preservation. Example experiments: creating leaf rubbings; dissecting lima beans; growing mold, etc.

Senses – Concepts include touching, seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting. Example experiments: creating a tongue map; making a better ear; finding your blind spot, etc.

Simple Machines – Concepts include screws, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, levers, and wheels & axles. Example experiments: lifting a stack of pennies by making a lever; using wheels to overcome friction, etc.

Water – Concepts include density, sinking vs. floating, water currents, absorption, and pressure. Example experiments: creating a Cartesian diver; floating a paper clip; making a paper fish flop around, etc.

Weather – Concepts include water pressure, air pressure, and currents. Example experiments: defying gravity with an index card; blowing up giant bags with one breath; seeing a tornado in a bottle, etc.
