Sonic Wacky Pack Wild Gliders Coming to a Drive-Thru Near You

Steve Spangler Science and Sonic America’s Drive-In have teamed up once again to bring a little science and fun in their Sonic Wacky Packs Kids’ Meals this summer.

Wacky Wild Gliders are fun airplanes that feature fun facts about one of four insects. Kids will love assembling their insect glider, decorating it with the included stickers and then heading outside to explore the properties of air, motion and gravity. They will also learn a little bit about the insect on the glider.

Collect all four insect gliders at your local Sonic – Ladybug, Bee, Dragonfly and Butterfly.

You can also visit the Sonic website for more information on the gliders as well as a coloring sheet (pdf) to print and decorate.

Best of Spangler Science 2009

It’s been quite a year for us at Steve Spangler Science… in fact, when the year starts out with 50 off your closest friends helping you wish Ellen DeGeneres a Happy Birthday, you know big things are in store.  Whether we were letting fans ride on the infamous Bed of Nails at NAEYC 2009 or launching trash cans with a police force audience, we can guarantee that 2009 was never boring.  We’ve compiled some of our favorite highlights from the year, so feel free to browse through them and go back with us as we reminisce about our favorite moments from 2009… can you imagine what 2010 has in store?

Happy Birthday Ellen!

Our 2009 Boot Camp tour kicks off in Oklahoma City, with a great group of teachers.

Our team stormed Toy Fair and set off a few geysers in the process.

Steve Spangler Science Jelly Marbles were featured on the prime-time hit series Numb3rs.

I debuted what would become one of our most requested experiments… Laminar Flow.

SONIC Drive-In Presents Steve Spangler Science Wacky Pack Books

We are excited to announce our third partnership with SONIC Drive-In restaurants, SONIC Sliders 2.  Starting in November, the books are available at a SONIC Drive-In near you.  This time around, our Science Editor collaborated with SONIC to produce four, all-new Science Sliders as part of the SONIC Wacky Packs.  Each book shares a different science theme: Animals, Earth Science, Transportation and Anatomy. Each slider book contains an experiment that is easy to conduct at home and may even use supplies that are found in your bag like ketchup, salt, napkins, fries… even the bag itself.  The four book series is called Science Sliders because each page has a section that slides out to reveal another cool science secret.

“SONIC is delighted to partner with Steve Spangler Science as part of our Accent on Education program,” said Tamara Stanley, director of segment marketing for SONIC® Drive-In®. “At SONIC, we blend fun with education by including interactive educational toys in our Wacky Pack kids’ meal. The Science Sliders books are a great example of how we help our youngest guests understand how fun learning can be.”

We’re excited to announce the release of six books that we wrote for Sonic as part of their Wacky Pack® kid’s meal.
