Do you have a room full of students dreaming of a career in science? Invite a scientist from Southern Research to come be a part of your event! We would love to share what inspired us to become scientists and the path we took to get there. This can be tailored to fit your request – from a small, intimate presentation to a keynote address – we can provide what you need!

Class Size: Flexible

Get ready for an unforgettable STEM experience packed with fire, explosions, and ultra-cold science! In the first half of the show, students explore the fundamentals of chemical reactions through exciting demonstrations of exothermic and combustion reactions. They’ll discover the science behind the “BOOM” as we break down the three essential ingredients of fire—heat, fuel, and oxygen—and explore how energy is transformed during chemical reactions. In the second half, we’ll investigate the fascinating properties of liquid nitrogen and its dramatic effects on the phases of matter through a series of interactive demonstrations. We’ll wrap up the show with an explosive finale that’s sure to spark curiosity and leave students inspired to explore the world of science!

This large-scale show is designed for audiences of 50 to 500 or more people. For school audiences, the show must be held in a gymnasium, auditorium, or cafeteria and cannot be performed in a classroom.
