Fall Hands-on Science Secrets Boot Camp Tour Off to a Great Start

Our Fall Boot Camp Tour kicked off September 23rd in Grand Rapids, MI, with a second stop just two days later in Chicago, IL… and it was a blast!  What an enthusiastic group of teachers awaited us in both cities.  I love the Windbag demonstration because who wouldn’t want to make a paying customer look silly up on stage?  Our teacher volunteer was a great sport and we had a fun Windbag Challenge before discussing the properties of Bernoulli’s Principle.  Our teachers picked up very quickly on my hex nut drop and didn’t even seem to mind the “music” created by the Screaming Balloons.  It was a great day and an awesome opportunity to meet some of the amazing teachers who are bringing science to their classrooms.

Chicago was equally amazing… especially with our Egg Drop demonstration.  I had a fun volunteer, who did a great job getting those eggs in the cups on the very first try!

NAEYC 2006 – Fizz, Pop, Wow!

It was easy to see that this Steve Spangler session at the NAEYC 2006 Conference was going to be a little different. The stage was filled with the usual Spangler stuff… a vacuum cleaner, eggs, a saw, bowling balls, toilet paper rolls, giant bags, an aquarium of water, a violin bow, plenty of Alka-Seltzer, potatoes, Diet Coke and, of course, Mentos. Even before Bobbi finished the introduction, there were Mentos Geysers erupting and people running!

My thanks to everyone who attended my session at the NAEYC 2006 conference in Atlanta, Georgia. You’ll find links to the experiments and activities that I shared during the session as well as a few favorites that didn’t make it into the list of 20 Cool Science Activities Under $20.
