Dynamic Demos are hands-on science demonstrations and activities that can be tailored to your individual groups. All Dynamic Demos are now aligned to current standards and the NGSS. All have great demonstrations and audience participation.

Please contact our Group Sales Coordinator at 850.645.7777 or Susan Borland at 850.645.7787 if you need additional information or are interested in scheduling a Dynamic Demo or Learning Lab.

• Dynamic Demos are 45 minutes unless otherwise noted
• Fee is $2.75/student with a $75 minimum unless otherwise noted
