Snowflake Science

Bring on the snow! In Texas we have to make our snowflakes since we very rarely have cold weather. Create unique snowflake patterns to get into the winter spirit. Don't forget to share your creativity with us on our Facebook and Google+ page!

Tornado in a Bottle

“Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.”- The Wizard of Oz
Tornadoes are both fascinating and dangerous at the same time. Meteorologists track weather patterns to predict when a tornado will most likely accrue to help warn the public. Gather your materials to explore a tornado’s vortex safely in your home!

CERN - How Cool?!

Google+ Hangout

In this special #DeSTEMber hangout, we take a look at - quite literally - one of the "coolest" parts of CERN.

In the CERN cryogenics laboratory, experts work with liquid nitrogen and liquid helium to cool CERN equipment to temperatures as low as -271°C (about -456°F or 2.15 Kelvin). This temperature is even colder than outer space!

In this hangout, our experts perform hands-on experiments to show the weird and wonderful world of liquid nitrogen, and explain why we need to keep parts of CERN so cold.

Watch live on http://youtube.com/CERNTV at 10am CST!
