Dynamic Science Shows
Produced in partnership with PPG Industries
Fractured Physics
Content themes: Motion, Engineering, States of Matter, Light, Regional Science
Don’t move an inch, because we’re bringing some high impact science to you! Fractured Physics will take your students deep into Newton’s Second Law (hint: that’s the one about momentum) by demonstrating the amazing properties of glass. Journey to a top-secret laboratory to see how glass is made, what makes it strong, and how it is adapted for car windshields, airplane glass, fiber-optic communications, and more. Your students will learn physical science concepts, how objects withstand impact, why things do or don’t break, and how glass refracts light of different wavelengths. Brace your students for an action-packed assembly that includes standing on light bulbs, meeting real scientists involved in cutting-edge glass research, and more!
Fractured Physics All-Day Adventure
Add Adventure Stations to Fractured Physics for a full-day experience. Begin your special science day with the Fractured Physics assembly, then reinforce the concepts from the show in a series of hands-on activities exploring force, motion and the physical properties of glass and plastics.
Our staff will be at your site for a full day – we can do All-Day Adventures for up to 480 students per day, two hours per class. $850, all inclusive!
What You’ll Need:
- Two separate spaces, one for the assembly and one for the Adventure Stations.
- 15–20 adult volunteers or high school students. (Your Carnegie Science Center presenter will conduct a training workshop for volunteers 45 minutes before the first scheduled group.)
Call 412.237.3374 to book your next great science adventure!
All of our shows produced in partnership with PPG Industries have the following:
Time required: 45–60 minutes
Grades: 1–8
Fee: $475 includes set-up and one presentation; $225 for each additional presentation.
Our shows also are customized for the appropriate grade level and are aligned with national and Pennsylvania academic standards and anchors to help support your educational goals. We request that you do not book one of our programs for more than three consecutive grades at a time. To let your whole school in on the fun, book an All-Day Adventure or a multiple assemblies program.
