LSOP in Action: Halftime Show
On February 2, 2023, LSOP presented an awesome science halftime show for the CSU Women's Basketball game. In attendance were 5,000 local 4th and 5th graders!
Show Me Some Science! Drum Crush
A 55 gallon drum is filled with water on the 3rd floor balcony. A hose siphons water to the ground 10 meters (30 feet) below. What happens next will blow your mind! As the water falls down to the ground the pressure decreases, but the hose on the bottom is open to the air and [...]
LSOP Live: Please Try This At Home, Water and Air, October 8, 2021
In this episode, we’ll share 20+ activities you can try at home or in the classroom, all while learning about the properties of water and air. We’ll make a rubber duck float half a foot above the surface of a fish tank, we’ll make a light bulb float in mid-air, we’ll make coins disappear, we’ll […]
LSOP Live: Everyday Science, Friday, May 14
In our season finale, we show you dozens of cool science experiments and science tricks you can do at home with easy-to-find materials. You can make things float in the air, make things disappear, make things ride on a cushion of steam and more! We invited every member of the LSOP Live team to show [...]
LSOP Live: Science It Up!, February 26, 2021
Last week, we asked students to share their questions with us—and did they ever! We got questions from “Why can we see clouds, since they are made of air?” to “Why do snowflakes have different designs?” On this episode, we take one question after another and Science It Up! We take each question and use [...]
LSOP Live: Pressure, October 23, 2020
We use pressure to levitate light bulbs and crush cans, including a really large one. We show you how to make an airbrush with a straw and a marker, allowing you to make some really cool artwork. We have a straw so long you can’t drink through it. And special guests. And more!
Show Me Some Science! Beachball Under Pressure
A small hose is filled with a bucket of water, and attached to a beachball, which is lowered off of the 3rd floor balcony. Water continues to fill the ball, leading to explosive results.
Show Me Some Science! Can Crush
Watch the Little Shop of Physics Crew use pressure from gravity to crush a metal can!
Get Your Science On: Pressure Cooker
This week, Mayon shows us how to build a neat little experiment which show some of the physical properties of gasses in a way you can really feel!
