ASSEMBLIES

DINOSAURS ! (Grades K-8 Assembly)
How big was the largest dinosaur? The smallest? How fast could these ancient archosaurs travel? See colonies of nesting dinosaurs where parents bring food to squawking hungry babies. Follow packs of marauding tyrannosaurs as they stalk huge herds of duck-billed dinosaurs. Young paleontologists will learn about the latest theories and interesting facts about the Mesozoic monsters that lived millions of years ago. Enjoy the world's greatest dinosaur slide show complete with real fossil dinosaur bones.

SPORT SCIENCE- Science In Your Gym Bag (Grades K-8 Assembly)
Why does a quarterback try to throw a perfect spiral? Why is rotational energy, aerodynamics and kinetic energy so important in sport science? Would you like to learn how to hit more home runs? You'll learn the answers to these questions and more in this engaging experiment oriented program so you can understand how science can improve your skills when you run, jump, throw and kick.

BLUE PLANET-THE EARTH (Grades K-8 Assembly)
From outer space the Earth appears to be a serene blue and white sphere. Let's take a closer view... We live on a churning, restless planet that is forever remaking itself. Air, water and even rock are continually recycled. In the midst of this constant change, a multitude of animals and plants interact in ecosystems as varied as harsh deserts and lush tropical rain-forests. Learn about the water cycle, photosynthesis, food chains, animals and their habitat and more. Discover how people work together to conserve the Earth's natural resources.

FUTURE ASTRONAUT (Grades K-8 Assembly)
See the Earth from the surface of the moon. Discover the wonders of the universe and space science through hands-on experiments that you'll be able to demonstrate to your family at home with props that you have in your house. Witness the incredible  launch of a nerf ball rocket and watch the new ZING SHOT turbo airfoil exploit the most interesting Laws of the Universe.

 

CLASSROOM SIZE HANDS- ON PROGRAMS 


BUBBLE-OLOGY (Grades K-8 Hands-on Science)
Become a master Bubble-ologist (soapy scientist). Learn how to make a square bubble, blow bubbles inside of bubbles, make a spherical octahedral prism and more. A bubble is a liquid sphere, a swirling rainbow of iridescent color that defies gravity. Find out why physicists, mathematicians, architects and astronomers study soap bubbles to help us understand the way our universe works.

THE ULTIMATE PAPER AIRPLANE (Grades K-8 Hands-on Science)
Create aerodynamically superior paper aircraft that fly as high as a telephone pole while making soaring, looping flights. Paper planes fly using the same principles of aerodynamics as real airplanes. Discover the effects of air pressure, gravity, thrust and drag by designing and flying your own airfoil, helicopter and paper airplanes.These astonishing fliers wil change your life.

TOPSY-TURVY (Grades K-8 Hands-on Science)
There is something magical about the movement of spinning toys. A spinning top seems to defy the laws of gravity. Everything from the tiniest atom to the great galaxies are constantly spinning. Gyroscopes and tops will help you discover how and why rotating objects work. Learn about spiral galaxies, tornadoes and colors that rotate, Discover how friction, drag and gravity work together to stop a spinning top.

SOUND SCIENCE (Grades K-8 Hands-on Science)
What can you make but cannot see? What can travel through solids but makes no holes in them? It is sound! In this class you will find out how sound travels through water, air and solids. You will discover how to change the pitch of sound and how to amplify or make sounds louder. Design your own musical instrument to take home and dazzle your family.

ENTER THE DISCOVERY ZOME (Grades 2-8 Hands-on Science)
ZOME is a plastic construction system which lets students quickly and easily build models from bridges and spinning tops to complex polyhedra. The ZOME System stimulates curiosity and promotes dynamic discovery learning. ZOME supercharges the excitement in your classroom where students learn through self- discovery. Choose one subject or a combination of subjects for program themes:
  • Math: geometric shapes, polygons, 2D and 3D shapes, symmetry, tessellation.
  • Physics: spinning tops, bubble polyhedra (unbelievably super-cool)
  • Architecture: structural stability, tower and bridge building design.
