Dry Ice

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.

Flight

Air Pressure

Perhaps one of the best parts of a birthday is getting to blow out the candles on the cake. However, imagine being able to blow out those candles from all the way across the room! During this demonstration, children use scientific concepts to blow out a candle from nearly 20ft. away, and ultimately learn how air can travel long distances.

Magnets

Have fun with magnets while learning the properties of Magnetism. Devise your own cool experiments using the forces of magnets.

Static Electricity

Static electricity can come from various objects like carpet, doorknobs, sweaters, and balloons. During this demonstration, kids get to witness the effect of static electricity first hand. This demonstration is so mind-blowing, it makes the hairs on the back of their necks stand up—literally!
