School Programs
Cryogenics: States of Matter
Observe how solids, liquids, and gases change phases when subjected to extreme temperatures and learn how to define the states of matter. Our demonstrations involve intensely cold liquid nitrogen and students will see balloons shrink, a teakettle whistle without a stove, and lids pop off snack cans.
Capacity: 8 classes (200 students) per presentation; 1 to 2 presentations per day.
Schedule: Available during school hours, Monday - Friday.
Space / Special Requirements: Gym / auditorium / cafeteria or other assembly-appropriate space.

- Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 03 States of Matter (Grade: 3 – 5)
Describe how water can be changed from one state to another by adding or taking away heat. - Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 02 States of Matter (Grade: 3 – 5)
Compare and contrast solids, liquids, and gases based on the basic properties of each of these states of matter. - Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 04 Forms of Energy (Grade: 3 – 5)
Identify the basic forms of energy (light, sound, heat, electrical, and magnetic). Recognize that energy is the ability to cause motion or create change.
