Super Cool Science Show
The three states of matter...do they matter?? Dive into the weird world of the SUPER COOL where gases become liquids and liquids become solids. In this fast-paced show, liquid nitrogen takes center stage in a variety of experiments with surprising results. Check out the Inter-Planetary Olympics - what is it like to bounce a racquetball or munch a graham cracker in the sub-zero temperatures of Pluto? Find out what causes matter to fizz, freeze, foam, and fly in the frigid zones of minus degrees!
Radical Reactions
Heat! Light! Gas! Color change! Explode on the scene with RADICAL REACTIONS where flames are blue and green, rainbows exist in glass tubes, and dollar bills catch fire. In this dynamic show, chemical reactions abound in an exciting line-up that keeps audiences of all ages on the edges of their seats. See our presenter throw fire, watch an ordinary Ziploc turn into an exploding yellow bag, and fall in love with the foam fountain finale in this lively yet fact-filled demonstration!
