Chemistry And Physics On Wheels

Classes in science may be anything but boring to your students when you have CAPOW! CAPOW! is a science show of pops, bangs, and flashes- a show of Chemistry And Physics On Wheels by the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO). This includes exciting overviews of physics, chemistry or energy resources.

Ask chemistry, physics, or geology professors from UNO to wow your students with a variety of shows and demonstrations. You may choose to book demonstrations by one of the “Science Wizards” who have several years of experience in performing chemistry, physics, or energy and earth science demonstrations.

Per your needs, the demonstrator and the main topic of a particular show, students may see and hear professors with lightning coming from their fingertips, professors lying on a bed of nails, nails being pounded into boards with bananas, 55-gallon steel drums being crumpled with a bang, flames being snuffed out by giant smoke rings, spectacular explosions, colorful chemical reactions, spectacular voice changes, and a host of other chemical, electrical, mechanical and thermal marvels. The Energy Resources and Geology Show (ERGS) is an exploration of magnitudes of energy associated with natural phenomena and with various sources of energy utilized by people.

Only CAPOW! allows chemistry, physics, and geology UNO professors to take science to area schools. Many schools may not have the right kind of equipment on hand for a wide variety of science demonstrations and CAPOW! can help. Demonstrations are available for the elementary and secondary school levels.

Watch and enjoy the shows as you awaken your students’ interest in chemistry, physics or earth science- call CAPOW! professors at 554-2511 or 1-888-UNO-NASA (1-888-866-6272).
