MAD SCIENCE SHOW AT THE PLANETARIUM
Monday, August 13, 2012
1:00 p.m.
FIRE AND ICE
Get ready for some sizzlin’ excitement! Join us for SAFE and scientific fun with fire and ice! In this show, children will explore the 3 states of matter and learn about the amazing properties of fire and combustion. Children will see how our special Mad Science paper can burn leaving no ash behind and their jaws will drop when they witness our “Swoosh, Whoosh, Aaaah” experiment. After some sizzling chemical reactions heat things up, we will cool off with spectacular demonstrations involving dry ice! We will explore the “Big Burp”, the “Sizzling Scissors” and the famous “Mad Science Shower”. Children always marvel at the “coolness” of this frozen gas. All Mad Science shows provide live, interactive and compelling educational experiences that make learning a blast!
Admission: $10.00 adults
$8.00 child
