Experience the Cool World of STEM with Liquid Nitrogen
Bring the excitement of STEM education to your students with our unique, interactive presentation featuring the amazing properties of liquid nitrogen. We'll travel to your location, setting up our engaging, hands-on science experience that's sure to captivate your students.
STEM-Based Learning with Liquid Nitrogen
Our program begins with an introduction to STEM concepts using liquid nitrogen, highlighting its unique properties as found on the periodic table of elements. Using safe and controlled methods, we demonstrate the fascinating effects of liquid nitrogen, including its bubbling, boiling, and vapor mist.
The Grand Finale: Fresh Ice Cream for All!
The pièce de résistance of our program is the creation of fresh, delicious ice cream for every participant. We use the principles of science to craft a tasty treat that's sure to delight. And don't worry about dietary restrictions – we offer non-dairy and sugar-free options that are just as amazing!
Frequently asked questions
Are your Liquid Nitrogen School Presentations safe?
Sub Zero presentations are very safe. All of our experiments are very engaging for both students and staff members. The purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate scientific principles while using liquid nitrogen.
How long is the presentation?
The science presentation and ice cream should take 45-55 minutes. Presentation length can be adjusted according to class schedules and teacher needs.
How much does the presentation cost?
The school presentation cost will vary by your local Sub Zero location. The price of the presentation is based on the number of students and staff, distance, and any additional add-on items requested. Please call your nearest location directly for special pricing.
How much space is needed? Do you need electricity? Do you need water?
We need enough space for an 8’ table and room to walk around it. We can perform the presentation inside or outside based on the number of students. We do not need electricity. Access to water is helpful, but we can bring our own containers if necessary.
What educational material does the presentation cover?
Sub Zero will adapt the presentation material to the grade level of the students, but we cover the following educational scientific topics:
• Nitrogen Safety
• Atmosphere
• Elements: Nitrogen
• Condensation/Evaporation
• The Ideal Gas Law
• Water Crystal Structure
What food will be served? What if we have children with allergies?
Sub Zero will make ice cream for all students and staff at the conclusion of the presentation. We will be making the ice cream onsite and we can cater to most allergies that your staff or students may have. Please disclose the allergies before the presentation with the Sub Zero owner, so we can come prepared.
What topics can we cover?
States of Matter and how that relates to the conditions
What is in our Atmosphere
Condensation and Evaporation
How this relates to heat transfer
Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT and how you can visualize the equation in action
Gas Expansion and Contraction
Testing observations or Hypothesis
Pressure effect from heat transfer causing liquid to gas expansion
Water and Hydrogen bonding
How Hydrogen bonding makes water a fluid
Water crystal structure and how hydrogen bonding makes the shape of a snow flake.
How Water Crystal formation effects the texture of ice cream.
