Students will learn and laugh, participating from start to finish, during this hands-on, immersive science program. As students begin to see the science behind the magic, they will gain an understanding of basic science principles, including Newton’s laws of motion, centripetal force, air pressure and more, with an emphasis on the scientific method.(Presented by Scott Green)

Students will come to understand that science is a process of investigation while practicing the scientific method and improving problem-solving skills. Using fun experiments in physics, students and teachers will laugh as they learn. Imagine a simple machine that breaks the sound barrier and the hysterical Triangle of Terror! As we discover density, air pressure, kinetic and potential energy, students will also learn about their own potential! (Presented Dennis Regling’s Wonder Shows)

Join us on our expedition to the world's largest humpback whale breeding grounds... the Silver Bank, near the Caribbean Sea. Students will help demonstrate how whales adapt to their environment. Specimens and models are shown to explain how whales are different from bony fish and the different ways they catch their food. We will also join our undersea explorers on their exciting adventure in search of humpback whales in their winter breeding grounds. (Presented by The Ocean Adventure)

Students will be amazed by this fun program that will have them dancing in their seats! Middle Schoolers will forget they’re learning as this STEM laser program explores physics and optics through visual learning and mind-blowing demonstrations. We exemplify scientific principles with a simulated Jedi laser lightsaber, through laser optical illusions, and by exploding a balloon with laser light. This is one program your class won’t want to miss! (Presented by Prismatic Magic)
