The module focuses on one of the core concepts of high school chemistry and physical science, the properties of four of the states of __matter__ – solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The Bio-Bus staff will present a series of demonstrations which will illustrate and reinforce these concepts. For safety reasons, all demonstrations with liquid nitrogen and dry-ice are performed by our staff only.Students will explore the following: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Students will also perform an experiment which illustrates the law of conservation, potential energy, and kinetic energy. If time permits, students will be able to create and keep oobleck in a bag (a non-Newtonian fluid).

Many students view chemistry as one of the more difficult sciences, and this module is designed to convince them that chemistry is interesting, fun, and stimulating. We begin with a brief introduction to chemistry and matter. This is followed by a discussion of the fundamental properties of acids and bases. We then discuss the use off pH indicators, including litmus paper, phenolphthalein, thymol blue, and paranitrophenol as tools for determining the acid/base characteristics of compounds. The level of the discussion is tailored to the age and background of each class. Demonstrations are performed to reinforce the concepts presented, and to stimulate the students’ curiosity. The students conduct hands-on experiments designed to give them experience in scientific thinking, methodology, and laboratory safety.

 * Tullis Science Museum ||  Field Trip  || ** Periodic Table Grades 8-12 ** What is an element? Have you ever wondered why elements in the same group number on the periodic table have similar chemical reactivity? Who thought up the idea of a periodic table? How did it get its name? How does it affect our everyday lives? Come answer these questions and more as we learn about the basics and the makeup of the periodic table by visiting a life‐sized version in Tellus’ Weinman Mineral Gallery and then experience some hands‐on manipulatives in the lab as an introduction to the Periodic Table and basic atomic structure.
 * Tullis Science Museum ||  Field Trip  || ** Exploring the Sun and Solar EnergyGrades 8-12 and College ** This program explores the Sun as a star and how we can harness its energy to use here on Earth. In the planetarium we learn about our closest star, the Sun, in our program “Heart of the Sun." In the Science in Motion gallery we investigate alternative energies that are used to power vehicles and rockets. We will also tour the Georgia Tech Solar Decathlon House to allow students to see an environment totally run by energy from the Sun. In addition, students will investigate the large solar panels that help power the Tellus Science Museum.
