Stage Shows
Located in the auditorium.
Liquid Nitrogen Show
Interactive Scientific demonstrations to introduce children to liquid nitrogen that can freeze objects in seconds! It has a boiling point of -195C or -320F! Students will learn about this "cosmic" substance and we will demonstrate its power by freezing different objects. How to fit a 2-foot string balloon into a coffee mug? What will happen to a living thing submerged in liquid nitrogen? Can a balloon inflate by itself? What is static charge and can we control it? We will find answers to all these questions! In addition, we will learn what gravity is and why it is so important for our planet.
Dry Ice Show
Interactive scientific demonstrations to introduce children to dry ice - a solid form of carbon dioxide CO2 that skips liquid state and sublimes directly into a gas. In addition together with the students we will find out what polymeric powder is and how much water it can absorb; will create snow that does not melt; will study light waves with the use of special glasses to diffract light into its component colors; will observe the formation of tornadoes and whirlpools right in the classroom; learn about vacuum, air pressure and how traveling air molecules produce sounds through vibration.
Little Explorers
Located in the Kane Street Outer Cafeteria.
From Brooklyn Play 2 Learn, the masters of math sensory play, we have a space exclusively for kids aged 2-6. With five hands-on activities, this area is perfect for younger siblings and future PS29ers. Located on the first floor, in the Kane Street Outer Cafeteria.
