Up! Up! & Away! - March Break

This spellbinding special event introduces children to the principles of air and pressure. Children are amazed as a soda bottle is crushed before their very eyes and understand how pressure affects the world around us. The Mad Scientist will make a hot air balloon out of a dry cleaning bag and have a volunteer show the audience how a parachute works. A vortex generator will create giant smoke rings and a special powder will be used to surprise everyone. The children will get to see an incredible exothermic reaction take place and will even get the chance to watch a hovercraft in action. Finally, a special finale will illustrate how pressure can be used to create special effects in the movies
