Many things have changed over the past few months, but one thing remains the same: Our Science in Motion (SIM) team is ready to visit your school! Your school will enjoy the same high quality science programming.
Science in Motion offers theme based assemblies* that are created for a wide range of grade levels and intended to ignite curiosity, inspire discovery, and celebrate science!
Available Assemblies:
Bite-Sized Science
A bit of this and a bit of that… Students engage in a variety of exciting demonstrations that spark their imaginations! Satisfy their cravings for science as we use a singing fire tube, chemical reactions, flaming sound waves, and other engaging experiments.
Best Curriculum Fit:
Grade 3, Topic D: Hearing and Sound
Grade 5 – Classroom Chemistry
Grade 7 – Heat and Temperature
Grade 9 – Matter and Chemical Change
K-12: General Science
Cryogenics
Experience the ultimate cool as we explore the effects of liquid nitrogen on matter. Discover the reaction when gases, liquids, and solids are exposed to extreme temperature changes.
Best Curriculum Fit:
Grade 2 — Hot and Cold Temperature.
Grade 7 — Heat and Temperature
K-12: General Science
Electricity
Discover the shocking world of electricity and charged particles. We explore static electricity, current electricity, attraction, and repulsion through the use of a plasma globe, Tesla coil, and a Van de Graaff generator.
Best Curriculum Fit:
Grade 5 – Electricity and Magnetism
Grade 9 – Electrical Principles and Technologies
K-12: General Science
Fire & Gas
We explore the fascinating phenomenon of fire with an in-depth look into combustion. Observe the creation of a fire cyclone, see flames of bright fuchsia, green, and red, and solve the mystery of the gases. Students are sure to get a BANG out of this assembly.
