Engage…Excite…Inspire
young learners and teachers in your life.
And remember…if it’s not fun, we’re not doing it!
School Assemblies
Have the entire student body get in on the fun!
Choose from the topics listed below and get your school into science!
Topics Available
“Crazy Chemistry” – Join us as we create exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions, examine the effects of dry ice through the process of sublimation, observe color changes of acids and bases, produce a foam gnome, and show a suspension by making slippery slime! The assembly presenter teaches the scientific method, roles of scientists, and laboratory protocol while interacting with the audience and inviting individual students to assist in the hands-on lessons.
“Motion Commotion” – The action never stops as we learn about Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. Witness the amazing effects of air pressure, create a low pressure systems using tornado force winds, and find out if air really does have weight as we launch into some rockin’ experiments.
“Kooky Koncoctions” – What does H2O + MnO2 + KI + C18H36O2Na equal? An uproar of thrilled children! We’ll use scientific powers to unleash a genie in a bottle, create a foamy concoction of “elephant toothpaste”, and experiment with CO2 to make floating bubbles and a rainbow of color changes. You’ll have a wild time watching this kooky array of experiments. Who knew steam could be so much fun?!
*Assemblies are approximately 50 minutes in length.
Family Science Nights
Hosts a night of family fun “edutainment” with exciting demonstrations and experiments. After the presentation everyone can get elbow deep in cool hands-on science by making a take-home science project.
Choose from:
- Chemical Reactions – Make slime or experiment with endothermic/exothermic reactions
- Inventions – Create your own ice cream, silly putty, or volcano
- Electricity – Light up your life making your own flashlight!
*Includes a 50-minute assembly plus 30 minutes of hands-on project for up to 50 participants. Additional participants are extra to cover material and provide additional instructors.
Workshops for Teachers K-6
Science Explorers is an Act 48 Pennsylvania Dept. of Education approved provider for the professional development of teachers. Workshops for teachers are inquiry-based with the same hands-on methodology that engages young science explorers.
So come spend an interactive day loose in the lab with Science Explorers and earn 6 units of your Act 48 credits with us!
Professional Development Workshops in Science are also available for in-service days at your school.
Scheduled ACT 48 Workshops:
Stay Tuned for the 2010-2011 schedule!
