Join the Mad Science hands-on science fun. We’re crazy about science...and hope you are too! In this program, we’ll have a blast exploring science and how it affects the world around us. There will be exciting hands-on activities, spectacular demonstrations, inquirybased discussions, and amazing projects to make and take home. We'll join Bernoulli and Newton as we take an exciting look at the science behind aerodynamics and the properties of air ... under pressure; eliminate the mystery in chemistry; take a tour on the electron freeway in the world of circuit electricity; and experience some awesome forces ... gravity ... inertia ... centripetal force...for ourselves. We'll also learn about water waves and the environment; explore the scientific secrets behind some famous magic tricks; investigate the fundamental principles of flight; and discover the strengths of triangles, cylinders and arches and how these shapes make for sturdy homes and skyscrapers.
