Mad Science: Sounds Like Science

May 30 at 11:30 am, $3 per person

This 45-minute presentation is designed to introduce children to the world of science, highlighting the sense of sound. Through a combination of demonstrations and audience participation we bring the science of sound to your audience. Among the experiments the students will witness how sound waves travel using both the audience and a Slinky. They'll participate in creating a rainstorm complete with rain, thunder and lighting. We'll use some heat to make a metal pipes 'sing'. And for a finale we'll get to hear the quack of duck, the growl of a tiger and the roar of a T-Rex. This is a very fun, and engaging show. Grade: K-4; $3.00/person.
