Program Description

SUMMARY:
Children in this class will probe the shifting states of matter through a series of engaging demonstrations and inquiry-based activities. The class warms up with a molecular movement exercise to learn about the three states of matter. Next, students observe metal shift states from solid to liquid right before their eyes. Dry ice becomes the star of the show as the instructor uses it to perform a series of tests which explore the properties of matter at extreme temperatures. Balloons are used to help visualize the volumetric difference between matter in solid and gaseous states. The instructor tops the program off with a grand finale that engages the group in catching a cloud!

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
Children will understand the concept of matter in its three states through visual and tactile experiences. They will learn both how and why matter changes between the different states and develop a good understanding of matter’s elementary physical principles. Children will be able to relate the concept of matter to their world. They will receive the Take-Home Thermocolor Cup and Home Lab to continue experimenting with the states of matter.

NOTE: There is an additional $15.00 material fee for this workshop.

NOTE: Mad Science Programs are fun explorations into science and technology, and they encourage informal learning through hands-on experience. All Mad Science workshops include a lot of fascinating equipment, supplies, and take-home materials which the children build themselves. The Mad Science mission is to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining, and educational activities which instill a clear understanding of what science really is, and how it affects the world around them.
