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.

The Science of Toys

In Science of Toys, children test, play, and ponder over what makes toys work. They spin into action with kinetic toys. Children balance toy bugs and birds to reveal their centers of gravity. They learn that opposites attract with magnetic toys and then take a turn at creating a gear train.

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!

Energy Burst

On your mark, get set, SCIENCE! On this fun romp through the Olympics, the audience learns about Newton’s laws of motions. Children jump and push up to reach their potential and use wind-up toys that swim, hop and flip. Pulling back a car lets children control how far it goes.
