Join us Sunday, March 20 for a Community Free Day, sponsored by Axalta Coating Systems! Guests will “Discover Magic” as Axalta reveals their 2022 Color of the Year and we explore how science makes magic possible. Along with our 220+ exhibits, the day will feature several themed activities, including:
KABOOMISTRY! – a live, colorful combustion presentation that demonstrates the relationships between pressure, temperature and fuel to explain why things explode.
Tablecloth Trick – a lesson in inertia that explains the popular magician’s trick of yanking a tablecloth from under food and dishes without disturbance.
Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light – a collaborative art project that explores light and demonstrates how scientists can use telescopes and other tools to capture and filter different energies to study the universe.
Disappearing Water – chemistry demonstration that explores polymers, state changes and gravity, and shows how the super-absorbent properties of sodium polyacrylate can make water vanish.
Math-Magicians – a lesson in using probability calculations to fool the mind and trick the senses.
Our partners at Ducks Unlimited and Six Rivers Land Conservancy will also be on site with special themed activities all day. Admission for this event is free; however pre-registration is required, and we do anticipate selling out. Tickets to all theater experiences can be purchased at the box office. Pre-register today and reserve your spot for what is sure to be an unforgettable day at MiSci!
