Live Science Demonstrations
Take the stage during Live Science Demonstrations, where you guide the experiments and we help you perform them safely!
Live Science Demonstrations are subject to change and vary day by day! There's always something new to discover and we hope that you enjoy watching these live demonstrations again and again!Live Science Demonstrations in the Presentation Theatre:
NEW! Opening July 5, 2013: Sounds Like Science
From whispers to thunderclaps, sound is all around us. As we explore this amazing phenomenon, we will:
- Make waves to explore pitch and amplitude
- Test the limits of human hearing
- Hear how different gasses can change the human voice
- Create amazing sound effects
- See fiery sound waves using a Rubens’ Tube
