6 foot working Draw Bridge showing real world science.

                        Scenes from new show

Different Topics for Repeat Shows

Draw Bridge - Levers - Simple Machines

History and Technology - History of Midwest through the development of scientific discoveries, inventions and developments

Pulley Tower - with oversized easy to read force scales

Map of 1707 America - (8' x 8') showing why canals were built and waterways were the highways of transportation   Shows history of America until the railroads came.

Lock and Dam - shows how the locks on canals and river systems work

Getting the CO2 Out - a 2-liter pop and mentos is used and the pop erupts in a 15' spray.  Only diet pop is used and most is caught in special plastic saucer.   A modern hit with students.

Science and Technology of Skyscrapers - from foundations of buildings to skelton frames to elevators & water systems.  This ends with 2 students in a race to build a pvc pipe tower in only 3 minutes.  Very exciting.

BIG 7 ' Video Screen Connected to Live on Stage Cameras - This allows large groups to see every detail of the show.

Rocket Car - showing Newton's third law of motion in a very exciting way.

18 Foot Swing Lever -  This allows a student to lift a teacher 4 to 6 feet into the air while teaching about mechanical advantage.

Giant Pendulum with steel ball - A daring experiment with a 4 foot pendulum and a student helper

Centrifugal Force problem - designed to promote scientific guesses and lots of fun. This ends with swinging water over a student.

Sound Travels - A set of experiments, can be customized for grade levels using tuning forks, spring drums, singing rods, bell in a vacuum and ends with making a sonic boom with a bull whip!

Iron in Cereal - How can you see the iron in Cereal? Why is iron important to our bodies?

Acid - Base Students learn and Acids and Bases and see many color changes of different solutions. The students then get to predict what new solutions are: acids or bases.

Balloons and Marshmallows - Using a vacuum with bell jar, we make marshmallows look like baseballs and then look like raisins.

Airplane wings and balls - The designs of airplane wings and air pressure using a large 4 foot airplane wing.

Egg in bottle - A classic problem and big hit with kids and teachers.

Kitchen Chemistry - making cottage cheese, glue, slime and more from common items found in the kitchen.

Giant Optic Wheel to Color Movie Screen. - A light experiment on a grand scale involving a 4 foot Benham’s Wheel, rainbows and ends with theater lights making shadows.

Air Bag Challenge - Great problem and follow up to segment on airplane wings

The Fire Triangle - This is for Middle - Jr. High students. It teaches the fire triangle (Oxygen, Fuel, Heat) and ends with a safely conducted grain elevator type fire.

Where is the Pump? - This creates a siphon water fountain and is a study in the concepts of volume and pressure.

Hot air Balloons to Cryo Cannon - A problem in buoyancy that leads to discussion about heat and gases. This ends the show with a loud BANG from a liquid nitrogen cannon and confetti shot in the air.

Dry Ice powered bubble shower -  Great for outdoor science shows
