Mad Science: Up, Up, and Away

Looking for a way to spark some scientific curiosity for the kids this summer? Head over to the Alderwood library branch for Mad Science: Up, Up, and Away, an interactive, free workshop tailored for children aged 6 to 12.

Kids will explore the fundamental principles of air pressure through wild demonstrations. Expect a young aspiring scientist to witness a hot air balloon constructed right out of a dry cleaning bag, marvel at a "Dinosaur Sneeze," and learn how everyday air pressure is manipulated to create movie special effects.
