Our Demonstration Discovery Station Themes

Moving Motion

In Moving Motion children catapult into Newton's three laws of motion! They yank a cloth from under dishes and send crash test dummies flying. They adjust the mass of two identical cars and learn how heavier objects need a bigger push to move the same distance.

Dry Ice Capades

Ever wondered how the infamous fog effect is generated? You guessed it…dry ice! Not only is this extremely cold form of carbon dioxide good at fogging up a room, it is also used to illustrate several other cool effects. During this demonstration, children learn all of the chilling facts behind dry ice, in addition to conjuring up a few magical potions using the element itself.

Watts Up!

Discover the world of electricity! Children will see sparks fly from our Van de Graaff generator as they make confetti levitate by creating a static field. They will also get the opportunity to touch the generator for a brilliant, hair-raising display from the repelling forces of charged atoms!

Space Travel

Budding engineers learn what it takes to be a true globetrotter! Kids build and race a balloon-powered rocket, see the principles of propulsion at work in a real-time rocket launch, and achieve light years of new space knowledge!
