Sensational Science Showcases

Solids, Liquids and Gases

Grades K-2/Monday-Friday/Maximum 75 students

Students transform themselves into molecules and demonstrate the differences between solids, liquids and gases in the Molecule Mambo. They will predict outcomes of experiments that explore the building blocks of matter to discover the properties of solids, liquids and gases.

TEKS: K.2 A, E; K. 5 A, B; K.7 A, B; 1.2  A, E; 1.5 A, B; 2.2 A, E; 2.5 A, B, C; 2.8 C

Pre-Activity and Post Activity

What's Hot? What's Not?

Grades 2-5/Mondays-Fridays/Maximum 150 students

Students heat things up with experiments that explore how the addition and removal of heat energy changes the world around us. Students participate in demonstrations and experiments observing heat expansion, contraction, conduction and radiation.

TEKS: 3.4 B, 3.5 B; 3.6 A, 3.8 B; 4.4 B, 4.5 A, B, 4.6 A; 5.4 B, 5.5 A, 5.6 A

Pre-Activity and Post-Activity

What Floats Your Boat?

Grades 3-5/Mondays-Fridays/Maximum 150 students

Get ready to sink or float! Through demonstrations and experiments students engage with a variety of objects to explore the relationships shared by mass, volume and density. They wiill use various forms of matter to predict what will sink of float.

Pre-Activity and Post-Activity

Reactions in Action

Grades 6-8/Mondays-Fridays/Maximum 150 students

It's all about chemistry! Students get elementary with the science of substances and solutions. They participate in demonstrations and experiments to examine chemical properties, observe the effects of mixing and matching chemicals and investigate the cause of chemical changes.

Fantastic Forces

Grades 9 - 12/Mondays-Fridays/Maximum 150 students

Students explore the fantastic world of natural forces and the power of air pressure to discover the scientific secrets of everyday things. Students follow in Newton's footsteps as they observe the "push/pull" of gravity and Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
