Science Live! - Science Below Zero

by  Don Harrington Discovery Center Amarillo

Program image

Science Below Zero examines some of the chilliest science on the planet. Discover the physical changes which occur when solids, liquids, and gasses are exposed to the extreme cold of liquid nitrogen. Come and be amazed as we use liquid nitrogen
to power some explosive experiments!

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.
