What’s the Matter?

Solids, Liquids, and Gases!

Students experience hot ice, floating fog and exploding liquid to explore the states of matter, their properties, and how they change from one form to another (and back again). Your class will have a gas! OMSI’s stage programs bring concepts to life with thought-provoking demonstrations and audience participation.

This show occurs in OMSI’s Auditorium on select weekdays.

This program is specifically designed for grades K through 8.
