Dynamic Science Shows
Produced in partnership with PPG Industries
Ion Jones and the Lost Castle of Chemistry
Content themes: Chemistry, States of Matter, Regional Science
Discover the hidden treasures of chemistry in this action-packed, heart pounding adventure! Team up with chemistry adventurer "Ion" Jones and real PPG scientists on a global quest to collect the elements. Journey to rain forests, deserts, glaciers, ancient temples, and prehistoric carbon deposits, and learn how we use chemistry in industry, biology, technology, and the environment. Is it a far stretch from the Pillar of Polymers? Can we escape the Cavern of Catalysts in time? By the time your students reach the Castle, they will have explored states of matter and observed chemistry in action—from chlorine to combustion. This interactive, multimedia chemistry demonstration is downright explosive!
Ion Jones Chemistry All-Day Adventure
Keep the excitement going all day long by adding Adventure Stations to Ion Jones for a full-day experience. The extraordinary journey begins with the Ion Jones and the Lost Castle of Chemistry assembly show, then reinforces the concepts of acids and bases, mixing chemicals, and properties of matter with hands-on activities that kids love.
Our staff will be at your site for a full day – we can do All-Day Adventures for up to 480 students per day, two hours per class. $850, all inclusive!
What You’ll Need:
- Two separate spaces, one for the assembly and one for the Adventure Stations.
- 15–20 adult volunteers or high school students. (Your Carnegie Science Center presenter will conduct a training workshop for volunteers 45 minutes before the first scheduled group.)
