Program Description
SUMMARY:
Under Pressure is an exciting immersion in the science of air pressure and Bernoulli’s principle. Children enjoy the exciting tale of the Viking ship while learning about thermodynamics and weather systems. A hopping, hovering table tennis ball lets children experiment with unbalanced air pressure. An air-blasting Airzooka is a fun way to understand the physics of breathing. Children apply their knowledge to overcome gravity using compressed air, and they will take home their very own Air Blaster foam launchers.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
Under Pressure introduces children to the exciting science of air pressure and a host of associated scientific concepts including aerodynamics, the science of flight, thermodynamics, and Bernoulli’s principle. Children learn that air is all around us, and vital to life on Earth.

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.
