The advancements in synthetic materials are examined as our presenter combines two chemicals which mushroom into a pillow of polyfoam. It is then formed into the shape of a giant yellow "Frisbee" type flying saucer which is left with the school as a memento of our visit.
Safety is an underlying theme of the entire presentation. Students will gain a valuable lesson as they are shown why it is so important to always follow instructions, always use appropriate safety equipment, and never take anything for granted.
All presentations are tailored for each age group (K-9) and will provide appropriate academic content.
Hands-on workshops are also available. For younger students (grades 3 and 4) topics such as the use of liquid nitrogen are explored. Older students (grades 5 through 9) will have the chance to solve a mock bank robbery by exploring the uses of chromatography. A more comprehensive look into acids and bases may also be used during the workshops.
