Explosions, melting metal and fire eating?
It's all in a day's work at the Don Harrington Discovery Center!

Serving our five-state region since 1976, DHDC is an interactive, hands-on science learning center which hosts tens of thousands of participants through our Education Program each year.

Our distance learning sessions feature our Science Live! shows which are 45 to 60-minute long "edu-tainment" events bursting with hair-raising demonstrations and explosive results live-streamed into your classrooms and auditoriums in spectacular high definition.  Funny, engaging, and jam-packed with learning, Science Live! will leave your students cheering for more!

All of our education programs align with both the TEKS (Texas) and the NGSS and a cross-curricular Correlation Chart is available to view with each program we offer.

Program Details

Format

Science Live! Shows are interactive “edu-tainment” programs showcasing a variety of science concepts.

Objectives

Grades PK-5
• Compare and contrast the physical properties of matter including its state, volume, and temperature.
• Predict and identify the changes to materials caused by heating or cooling, such as liquids becoming gases.

Grades 6-8
• Investigate methods of thermal energy transfer, including convection and conduction.
• Identify that living organisms contain carbon and other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

Grades 9-12 and Adult
• Compare the states of matter in terms of compressibility, volume, and structure.
• Relate the physical behavior of an element to its placement on the Periodic Table.
• Analyze physical and chemical properties of elements such as boiling point and freezing point.
