DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to trick the eyes with science! Ever wonder how someone did a magic trick? There are loads of things that seem like they shouldn't be possible, yet they are. Participants will try their hands at various experiments that will use simple physics and chemistry to wow an audience. Practice using forces like gravity and energy like magnetism and static, play with states of matter, manipulate temperature, density all for an exciting effect. At the end of the week, we'll have a magic variety show where we all perform our favorite tricks we tried or invented.

Recommended for ages 5-8
