SCIENCE PROGRAMS

Recommended Grade Level: K-1st

Students will be introduced to some of the special equipment that is used in the laboratory. Students will learn that the process known as “science” is just a systematic way of learning using our 5 senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing, and touch. Students will discover that there are many different kinds of scientists. Students will witness the excitement of seeing some spectacular demonstrations and experiments. Safety and having adults help with all experiments will be stressed.

Recommended Grade Level: 1st-3rd

Students will see amazing science demonstrations that look like magic. They will learn that science is not magic but is full of wonders, and sometimes looks like magic. Demonstrations dealing with matter and energy will be performed.

Recommended Grade Level: 2nd-8th

We will explore the three things that are needed in order to have sound: they are vibrations, something for sound to travel in, and something to receive the sound. Students will see how matter and energy helps us to explain the phenomenon of sound. We will use musical instruments and the students’ own bodies to teach these concepts. Experiments using tuning forks, drinking glasses, pipes, oscilloscope, dog whistle, balloons, and toys will be used in the program. Your students will be amazed when they see a glass break by using sound waves.

Recommended Grade Level: 4th-8th

Students will observe matter changing from solid to liquid to gas, and from solid to gas! We will also observe the fourth state of matter: plasma.

Recommended Grade Level: 5th-8th

Students will discover the Laws of Gravity and Motion. We will take a look at Isaac Newton’s life and see what led him to the discoveries for which he is famous. We will make artificial gravity. By using a “catapult” we will discover equal but opposite reactions.

Recommended Grade Level: 4th-8th

Through hands on demonstrations, students will take a close look at static and current electricity. We will discover how to make our own electricity. Contributions from great men of science like Franklin, Tesla, Faraday, Van de Graff and Edison will be “felt” by using hands-on demonstrations with some classic electrical gadgets! This is going to be a “hair raising” and “shocking” experience!

Recommended Grade Level: 6th-8th

An introduction to the basic principles of Physics (motion, heat, electricity, magnetism, sound, and light). Several exciting experiments and demonstrations on each of these areas will be performed.

Recommended Grade Level: 6th-8th

Chemistry is the study of different substances, their composition, properties and reactions. A brief discussion of the periodic chart is incorporated into the content. Topics include physical and chemical changes; atoms & molecules; elements, compounds, and mixtures; simple chemical formulas, combustion reactions, clock reactions, polymers, cryogenics, and laboratory safety.

Recommended Grade Level: 3rd-8th

We will explore the forces that make up our weather. We will make rain, fog, lightning and a tornado. We will find out what makes hurricanes, and tornadoes. We will take a close look at weather station instruments, including a real weather balloon, a hot air balloon and discover how they work. Weather safety will be taught.

Recommended Grade Level: 3rd-8th

Students will see examples of all six types of simple machines; lever, pulley, and wheel and axle, incline plane, screw and wedge. This program spans science, history and math in a fun way. We will discover that biological creatures are made up of simple machines. By using Barney, a “real” human skeleton, students discover that their bodies are made of simple machines. By using hands on demonstrations students will discover that simple machines make-work easier for us. One of the most exciting demonstrations will be the firing of the “catapult."

Recommended Grade Level: 3rd-8th

Students will discover the excitement and the importance of space travel. Discover what it means to be an astronaut and what it’s like to travel, work, and live in space. Exciting liquid nitrogen experiments will be performed. We will take a close look at our Solar System and actually make a comet. One of your students might be one of the astronauts on the first manned mission to Mars!

Recommended Grade Level: K-Adult

Invite Dr. C.D. Rom “Ben Roy” to teach your science class. As a Teacher Resource Agent for the American Astronomical Society. Ben has developed a science Solar System art lesson that has students winning national NASA Space Art contests. This lesson makes ANY student or teacher an instant successful artist!

Recommended Grade Level: 3rd-12th

This special program uses the phenomena of science (demonstrations) to capture student interest while teaching about the dangers of taking drugs including alcohol, tobacco products and other chemicals (inhalants). These concepts are taught: Good and bad drugs, illicit drugs, peer pressure, things to do to feel good about your self, getting help, What to do if you know someone is using drugs.

“I found Mr. Roy’s drug program to be a dynamic example of education and experiential learning in its finest sense. I strongly recommend this program for all school age children who need to be inoculated against the temptation to try substances.” John Dickens, Ph.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Recommended Grade Level: K-Adult

Exciting science demos are performed from many different programs. Children of all ages, as well as adults, love this fast paced science show. BEST SHOW FOR A WIDE RANGE OF AGES.
