Family Science: Science of Flight
Saturday, January 26
2 – 3:30 pm
The sky's the limit as we "take off" to learn the science behind flight. Check out Bernoulli's principle as we investigate how insects, migrating birds and even humans command the sky. Build your own rocket and see how science can really soar!
Family Science: Mummification Mysteries
Saturday, February 9
2 – 3:30 pm
The practice of mummification has been around for millennia, involving chemicals and natural processes in the preservation of bodies. Study the techniques of the ancients and discover how organic materials may be preserved for posterity.
Family Science: Carbonation Creation

2 – 3:30 pm
Pop, pop, fizz, fizz… oh, how scientific it is! Learn all about the science of carbonation, how it is created and the role it plays in our everyday lives. Get hands-on with carbonation as we put it to the test with some messy science experiments.
Family Science: Where No Visitor Has Gone Before…
Saturday, April 13
