Students watch a Montgolfier hot air balloon, a rocket, and the explosion of the Hindenburg. As the forces of flight are individually presented and demonstrated, students learn how the Bernoulli effect was discovered and how the wings on an airplane provide lift. Flight Show FAQ Light and Color Requires an extremely dark room. The darker the room, the better the effects. The sun, fire, electric lights, and even fireflies are some of the light sources used in this show to demonstrate many properties of light and color.
Light is bounced, separated into different colors, and recombined to make white light.
Ultraviolet light is used to make fluorescent objects glow. Finally, mirrors and a laser are used to show reflection and refraction. The wonders of chemistry are a part of our everyday lives, from cooking and cleaning, to industrial manufacturing. This show explores chemical reactions through chemical dyes, acids and bases, polymers, and combustion. FAQ Communications Technology Follow the evolution of communications from the development of language to fiber optics and digital recording.
