What's the Matter?

by Science Central

Liquid nitrogen is always a smash hit, and we present this demonstration with lots of shockingly cool phenomena for the students! Younger students are exposed to concepts of very low temperatures and their effects on materials around them. Intermediate and older students walk through a different set of activities for N2(l), with an emphasis on changing states of matter, even at the molecular level.

Program Details

Format

1. The program is introduced by stating that matter is all around us.
2. Participants make observations about liquid Nitrogen.
3. State of matter are introduced. Participants move to show how molecules contract and expand depending upon the state of matter.
4. Tube Balloon experiment
5. Oxygen Balloon experiment
6. Use a special fuel to discuss the components of combustion.
7. Hydrogen Balloon Explosion to show plasma.
8. Wrap up and summary.
