Steve is furiously signing 30 books this afternoon and getting ready to give them all away during a Facebook party tonight from 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. MST on our Steve Spangler Science Facebook Fan page. If you have ever been a part of one of these events, you know it is a true screen refresh mental workout. Warm up those fingers and join us tonight.
If you loved Steve Spangler’s Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes, then get ready for Fire Bubbles and Exploding Toothpaste. This second volume of 25 new and extraordinary experiments will bring out the mad scientist in everyone. With beautiful photographs, materials lists and step by step instructions this book will uncover the how-to and why for each experiment.
This book also includes a special teachers-only section that reveals some of Steve Spangler’s secrets for making science come alive in the classroom. Don’t worry, this book isn’t just for cool science teachers, it’s for parents and homeschoolers, science fair participants and science enthusiasts of all ages.
This demonstration is for educational purposes only. Do not try this at home.
Methane is one of only 13 gases that are lighter than air. Pump a little methane into soapy water, add a little fire and watch it do its dance.
With the help of a very nervous Kirk Montgomery, we demonstrated how methane bubbles grow in a tower that sways like a snake. Lighting the methane turns the tower into fire bubbles and demonstrates that methane is flammable. This demonstration is used to teach fire safety in firefighter training, because it shows the movement of flammable gases.
We are settling into our routine and getting to know the amazing teachers from across the country and world who have traveled to Denver to learn how to bring more science into their classrooms.
Day 1 of Science in the Rockies was too fun. We explored the properties of air and even vacuum packed a few teachers for ultimate freshness. We also did glow demos and density activities. A few of the favorite activities was playing with Squidy and Wind Bags, making our own soccer match Vuvuzela’s and smoke rings.
Today began with teachers walking on glass then covered spooky Halloween science, complete with dry ice activities, color science and ended with a potato gun fight.
Day 3 will have a special surprise for the teachers as well as the final jam-packed day of learning.
