Dayton Data Visualization Talks: Gave multi-talks at the Dayton Data Visualization group. Talks were designed to be mini-ted-like talks which focused on data and visualizations.
- Dayton Regional STEM Center- Dropping the Beat (2013-4) Worked with Dayton area teachers and other AFRL colleagues to create a lesson plan on sound called “Dropping the Beat”. This was a multi-month project that ended with the completion of a STEM lesson plan.
Science Saturday
Unicorn Poo
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) when mixed with a yeast (a catalyst) produces Water (H2O), Oxygen (O) and HEAT. By adding soap, we can capture the Oxygen
Generate a Plasma with Grapes
Demystify the fourth state of mater: plasma. WARNING: This may destroy your microwave
Water Electrolysis
Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.
Backyard science with common household equipment. Goal is to show that science is:
- Interesting
- Does not need expensive equipment
- Something you can do at home
- A kid (at heart too) can do alone
- Adult supervision RECOMMENDED
- Emphasize that science is all around us and not just something that happens in a lab.
- One way to do that, is to use everyday objects to do science.
- Doable in less than an hour

Aluminum Foil Boats
How can a 2 ton steel boat float?
Coin Battery
We can turn pocket change into a battery that can power a light!

Food Dye Experiment
This experiment shows the difference in how food dye acts when in cold water and hot water.
Glow Water
This sounded AWESOME: Physics and Chemistry combined. Nifty visible proof in why we need physics and why we need quantum mechanics.
Jello Lasers
Not quite Sharks With Lasers. However, jello makes an excellent medium that kids can use to design and create lenses to explore properties of light.
Plasma with Grapes
WARNING: THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR MICROWAVE. Generate a plasma with grapes!

Dry Ice Ice Cream
Dry ice ice cream is a quick easy way to make Ice Cream. and learn a little food science. Bonus, the ice cream can become carbonated with this method too.
Solutions and Mixtures
This experiment is about finding the difference in materials, when the mix into water. You will see some materials make solutions and others mixtures.
