Upcoming Events:
March 25: Muscle Madness
Fool your muscles and test your reflexes as we dive into the human body to discover how our muscles create force and produce motion. What is muscle memory and how does it affect old age? How does adrenaline affect your ability to keep moving? Create your own model muscle, watch a stunning show in the Planetarium and snack on a tasty frozen treat all while moving your muscles!
April 22: Farm Science Fun
Step into your farmer boots and come on over to the Science Center for a night of farm-filled fun! Have you ever wondered what life would smell like if you were a pig? Try on your own pig snout and smell for yourself. Bring home the start to your own farm and watch it grow. End the night with a tasty-delicious “dirty” snack. It will be a boot-kickin’ stomp of a time!
May 20: Sounds of Science
What made that sound? Spend the evening experimenting with sound waves, different things that make sound, and how sound travels. Test out some unusual instruments, and then make your own to take home. Listen to some awesome tunes at a laser show, and you’ll be rockin’ the night away.
June 10: Sense and Sense-ability
How good is your sense of balance? Can you see color in the dark? How many senses do you really have? Make an optical illusion to trick your eyes, then fool your taste buds and measure your ability to touch. Gaze at a mesmerizing laser show, and taste a yummy treat. We have a sense this will be a really fun night.
