Cabbage Juice: Acid & Base Detector! (Note: Somewhat stinky experiment!) Purpose: To use a natural indicator (cabbage juice) to test for acids and bases. Materials
Procedure: 1) ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED! Make Cabbage Juice: Put 3 or 4 large leaves of red cabbage into the blender. Fill the blender half-way with water. Turn on the blender and blend it into purple mush. Line the funnel with one paper towel and strain the pulped cabbage into the empty container by pouring it through the funnel. Add a little at a time. Enjoy the rich, cabbagey aroma! 2) Pour a small amount of cabbage juice into one bowl (enough to cover the bottom). Obtain some vinegar. Using the eyedropper, gently drip vinegar into the puddle of cabbage juice in the bowl, and observe. Gently stir the mixture with the spoon to make sure the two liquids are well blended. Make a note of any color change you see. 3) Put some fresh cabbage juice into your other bowl. 4) Place your antacid tablet on the paper towel and fold the towel over to cover the tablet. Use the spoon (or other small tool) to gently pulverize the tablet into powder. 5) Unfold the towel and sprinkle the powder into the fresh cabbage juice. Stir the mixture with your spoon. Make a note of any color change (it may take a few moments to see anything happening).

| Birthday Party FAQ | |||||||||
 Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What Should I bring? A: Cake & refreshments & paper goods(cups, plates, napkins etc) and candles. We have a "dorm room" sized refrigerator (short cube shaped) to keep juice boxes, Hoodsie cups etc. cold. Keeps ice cream frozen. Does not fit Ice Cream Cakes! Q: Any restrictions on what sort of food I may bring? A: No. It's your party. Bring whatever you like. Q: Do you charge for adults? What about toddlers? A: We absolutely do NOT charge for adults! Toddlers are generally not counted towards your headcount unless they participate in the experiments. For example, at the 'Volcano' Party, we count volcanoes at the end. Whoever made one gets counted. Q: Should I bring a table cloth? A: Only if your child wants a certain theme (Spiderman, Star Wars, etc). The party tables are covered with heavy white craft paper during the science experiments. We remove the paper and sanitize the tables after the Science & before you serve the refreshments. The tables are brightly colored plastic, and don't need to be covered. Q: What about Goody Bags? A: Instead of traditional Goody Bags, play TIKI-YATA!! Each participant receives a loot bag pre-loaded with sciencey goodies (typical goodies include rainbow glasses, glowing lizards, globe keychains, bouncy balls, punch balloons etc) and then we play TIKI-YATA, the safe, indoor pinata game.  The hanging Tiki Head is loaded with 3+ Pounds of candy, which is held by plastic rods inserted through the Tiki Head. The kids take turns pulling out a stick, and the candy starts to fall! Special 'in house' rules insure that the birthday child gets the last pull and that everyone gets plenty of loot. •Price for Tiki-Yata with Goody Bags: $45.00 for up to 15 kids, $3.00 per additional participant. •Bring your Own Goody Bags, but Play Tiki-Yata for Candy: $20.00 Q: Do you have an incredible, pyrotechnic Birthday Candle that shoots sparks and plays the Happy Birthday Song? A: Why yes, we do, and although it retails for $9.99, you can add it to your party for just $8.00. See video below: More Questions? Email info at powscience.com or call the Location of your choice! |

| Dazzling Density | |||||||||
| Objective: To determine how density affects
the layering of water Materials:
Procedure: 1) Use the pencil and pieces
of scrap paper to designate the
three cups 1, 2 and 3 by writing 1, 2 and 3 on the papers and placing one cup
on each numbered piece. Fill cup 1
about half full of water. Fill cups
2 and 3 about 1/4 full of water
(amounts are approximate and do not need to be measured to any great degree of
accuracy). 2) Add 8 drops of blue food
coloring and 4 teaspoons of salt to cup 2. Stir with the regular spoon until the salt is dissolved. 3) Add 8 drops of red food
coloring and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to cup 3. Stir with the regular spoon until the salt is dissolved. 4) Carefully pour some of the
blue colored salt water into the cup 1 ( TIP: Tilting cup 1 and allowing
the salt water to trickle down the side of the freshwater cup is a good
method). Observe where the blue water goes. **You will NOT need to pour all of the colored
water into the fresh water cup to see successful results for this experiment!
Just pour in blue water until cup 1 is about 3/4 full. NOTE: You must pour the water very gently—using an eyedropper to dribble water down the side of
the cup is very helpful to avoid pouring the water in too fast! 5) Next, carefully pour some
of the red colored salt water into cup1. Observe where the red colored water goes. What’s Going On? Dissolving salt in water
makes it heavier than an equal amount of fresh water. This means that the salt
water has a higher density
than fresh water. If you poured carefully, you should see three distinct layers
in your cup: blue on the bottom, red in the middle and clear on top! Think and Talk About
This! |

Earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions! Kids model and demonstrate the phenomena that shape our ever-changing planet while learning about plate tectonics, meteorology and more! Every participant takes home their own erupt-able Volcano! Note: The Earthquake Experiment performed during "Dynamic Earth" uses a Milky Way candy bar. Milky Way bars DO NOT CONTAIN Peanut products, but since they are manufactured in the same facility as Snickers (which do contain peanuts), we would like to call this to your attention. As a rule, our instructors do NOT allow any participants, even those without allergies, to eat the Milky Way. |

Every partcipant makes and keeps own erupt-able Volcano! Volcanoes can't be erupted the day of the program (they need time to harden), so we bring a larger version of our own to erupt as the big finish to the program. We suggest letting the volcanoes dry in your classroom and having an "Eruption Party" two days later! Each student will need to wash their hands at the end of the program (their hands will be covered with "volcano").

| Eruption on Mount Mentos: The Definitive Method | |||||||||
| Eruption on Mount Mentos Objective: To observe the eruptive reaction between Carbon Dioxide Bubbles and thousands of Nucleation Sites. Materials: •Full one or two liter bottle of room temperature or warmer soda or diet soda (HINT: Diet Soda makes for easier cleanup, because it’s less sticky) •Roll of Mentos TM candies •Piece of paper, card stock (like a large index card) or a Geyser Tube. Procedure: NOTE: This Experiment is highly messy and should only be performed with adult supervision and either outdoors or in a bathtub! FOR BEST RESULTS: Fill a pitcher with HOT water and put your unopened Soda Bottle into the hot water for 15 minutes before continuing the experiment. 1) Open the Soda bottle and place it carefully in your experimental area. 2) Unwrap the Mentos and take a moment to think about a strategy for dropping all of the candies into the bottle at the same time. One way is to use the paper or index card to form a tube that will fit over the top of the bottle. Anything that works for you is the right way to do it! If you’re using a Geyser Tube, simply follow the directions on the packaging that came with your tube. 3) Make sure anyone observing is standing at a safe distance (or, if you’re in the bathroom, that they are at least prepared to get wet). Drop the candies into the bottle as quickly as you can. DO NOT LOOK DOWN OVER THE TOP OF THE BOTTLE. 4) Sit back and watch this awesome eruption! What’s Going On? Several things happen when you drop the candies into the soda. Water molecules in the soda “stick” to each other strongly because of a phenomenon called cohesion. The Gum Arabic in the candies disrupts water molecules’ ability to stick together, allowing a lot of the Carbon Dioxide Bubbles in the soda to quickly come out of mixture. The Mentos themselves are covered with microscopic bumps called “Nucleation Sites” which allow bubbles to come out of mixture as well. When the soda starts dissolving the candies, the surface of the candy becomes rougher. Even MORE Carbon Dioxide can form MORE quickly because the bubbles can stick to that roughened surface.  |
|||||||||
| Folded Flight | |||||||||
Kids learn about Bernoulli's Principle, lift and flight while building (and keeping) a flying cylinder, a take-home whirly-gig and learning to fold the World's greatest paper airplane (in our opinion)! Make a ball float in the air like magic! High-flying
fun for all! |
