Everyone loves the magic of science - and ice cream of course. We start by teaching science-based concepts through the use of Liquid nitrogen or N7, as found on the periodic table of elements. We demonstrate the colorless, odorless liquid that appears to bubble and boil as vapor mist swirls and dances at room temperature. Our show is certified safe by our national nitrogen supplier. We will demonstrate the scientific
properties of liquid nitrogen by expanding and compressing air from a balloon and some other simple demonstrations. Our unique program is concluded by our favorite experiment -- the creation of fresh ice cream for each participant made-fresh and delicious by the miracle of science.
***She can provide dairy-free options, mark this in your registration.
