During a 7 May 2009 science demonstration at Denver, Colorado’s professional baseball stadium, Coors Field, Steve Spangler Science – an organization committed to providing people with captivating science demonstrations and creative interactive demonstrations – led 5,401 area-school students through a complete physics lesson lasting more than 30 minutes.

Steve Spangler Science presented the lesson as a first annual "Weather and Science Day" feature, in conjunction with the Colorado Rockies and Denver, Colorado NBC affiliate 9News.

Guinness World Records™ Adjudicator Danny Girton Jr was literally soaking up the on-field action as a Mentos and soda fountain brigade doused him, before he awarded the largest physics lesson certificate to Steve Spangler himself.

  • Awesome event! I had my class at Coors Field and wondered what Steve could do to keep all of these kids' attention for 45 minutes. Kathy Sabine started the event and seemed to have fun with all of Steve's experiments. She even stood next to him for the big liquid nitrogen cloud, but I don't think she really knew that she would be in the middle of the explosion. My kids laughed and laughed. It's fun to look at the pictures because it was a very different feeling being in the crowd surrounded by thousands of those long bags. Can't wait to see if they're doing it again.
