Distance Learning

Utilizing distance learning in the classroom, students can explore scientific concepts, experience current technology and view exciting demonstrations, free from the limits of geography, interactive distance learning transforms students from passive to active participants in the education process.

Choose from these great topics:

Electricity

The Electricity demonstration focuses on Static Electricity, Current Electricity and Switches.  With explorations titled: Go with the Flow, To Conduct or Not to Conduct, The Electric Pickle and Circuit Making its not surprising that this demonstration will have your students glowing with excitement.

Atmospheric Adventures

Weather is all around us and the best way to grasp a true understanding of it, is to experience it.  In this demonstration your students will learn about the components of weather; moisture, temperature and air pressure.  They’ll explore weather in unique ways, including: Huff and Puff, Breaker Ruler, Crushed Can, Cloud in a Bottle and the Tornado Cannon to name just a few.

Sounds of Science

This may sound to you like we’ll be talking about clinking test tubes and beakers, but it’s not.  The Sounds of Science focuses on the science that makes sound possible.  We’ll demonstrate how sound travels by watching Waves on a Wire and Drumming Out a Flame.  We’ll take on Biology and show the different parts of the ear.  Then we’ll explore different methods of making sound like the Saw Violin and the Straw Kazoo.

Motion Mania

In this demonstration, students get to know Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, Friction and Collision (Elastic and In-Elastic). They’ll participate in demonstrations titled: Inertia of Paper Roll, Hoop and Kiss, Egg Drop, Weight on a String, Soup Can Race and Alka-Seltzer Rockets.  They’ll learn the difference between Kinetic and Static Friction, and Happy and Un-Happy Balls.

What’s the Matter?

The States of Matter, Solids, Liquids and Gasses, are the topics of discussion in this interactive demonstration. We’ll determine their properties and explore them in depth in demonstrations like Balloon Challenge and the Molecule dance.  We’ll turn things a little chilly when we break out the Liquid Nitrogen and talk about Condensation, Evaporation and Freezing.  Then we’ll wrap things up by exploring: Physical and Chemical changes, Mystery Powders and How Sweet It Is.
