In 2008, Laurie Henry formed Trinity Science Solutions, LLC in Dallas, Texas. Her programs, the Big Canyon Balloon and Orbit Earth Expo, were a hit with students and teachers alike. With kid-friendly explanations and utilizing her patented and unique inflated teaching models, these programs make difficult concepts of geology and astronomy come to life, leaving a lasting, score raising impression. In 2016, Trinity Science Solutions asked SparkPoint Innovations to take over Texas operations. Our office is now located in San Antonio, and we remain committed to bringing these programs to students throughout the state. You can reach the Texas office by called 470-719-1999 and selecting the option for Texas. |

With our huge, patented cold air canyon, we fast forward into the future to see how nature’s forces change our 15 ft tall canyon model. Students debate fast versus slow changes to the earth while they experience weathering, erosion and deposition. They participate to create landforms including a barrier island, a sand dune, and a delta. Forces causing erosion are explored as we pause to compare rocks and minerals – what is the difference? What are types of rocks we know and how are those formed? Inside the canyon, students will discover a fossil record and an oil deposit. What are the fossils telling the explorers about the relative age of these layers? How did the oil form? Is it a renewable or non-renewable natural resource? The answers to these questions and much more will be discovered during out unforgettable, interactive earth science programs for each grade level.
Students journey into space to create and experience the cycles, systems and relationships between the earth, moon and sun using our huge, inflatable Earth model and scale-sized moon. While interacting with the inflatable representations in a darkened gymnasium with a light to represent the sun, students manipulate the models to experience eclipses, seasonal/lunar cycles, creation of winds, day/night cycles, tides, rotation vs revolution, physical characteristics of the earth, moon and sun, gravity, order of the planets, seasons and more! The Orbit Earth Expo Program correlates to the state and grade level science objectives. There are different age-appropriate programs for each grade level.
