Don't miss Super Science Saturday on April 12th, 12 noon-4:00 PM! Recommended donation per family is $7, which you can make right now to avoid lines and help the PTA plan in advance. Many helping hands are needed to make this event happen. If you can volunteer, please contact Elizabeth Kiem.
Activities will include:
- The American Museum of Natural History's Moveable Museum,
Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries. In the newest Moveable Museum, families will explore an array of interactives to understand dinosaur evolution and the possible causes of the mass extinction 65 million years ago. They will examine dinosaur nests and trackways to interpret social behavior and investigate the latest feathered dinosaur fossils from Liaoning, China, which reveal the connection between dinosaurs and modern birds. This walk-in, hands-on exhibition will be parked out on Kane Street from 1:00-3:00 PM. - The Prospect Park Audubon Center's Birds of Prey.
- Mad Science's spectacular "Fire and Ice" extravaganza: Discover the cool chemistry in the states of matter and learn the basics of air pressure. Scissors will unexpectedly sizzle and carbon dioxide bubbles will pop as the chilling properties of dry ice are revealed. Be amazed when a ball is suspended over the audience and marvel at the strength of your own lungs with these radical air-pressure experiments. One show only, from 2:00-3:00 PM in the auditorium.
- A Greenmarket to help inaugurate the new PS 29 Children's Garden (an official GreenThumb site);
- Plenty of hands-on experimentation with hot-air balloons, periscopes, oobleck, volcanoes, rain sticks, obstacle courses, skyscrapers, and marble runs;
- A collective recyclable sculpture!
