Learn all about the science behind bubbles and see how bubbles can change form as professional bubble artists expose the wonders of these remarkable spheres. Play with bubbles of all shapes and sizes, see dry ice bubble demonstrations and be inside a giant bubble! Learn about how bubbles can teach us about star formation and all its applications in space science. This fun, two-day festival is great for all ages!
Read MoreWe will conduct two different tabletop activities that focus on using surprising properties of light to investigate the structure of matter/materials. Compared to using microscopes, these techniques can tell us different things and at even smaller scales. The first activity uses laser diffraction to study the structure of bird feathers. The second activity uses polarized light to study how materials respond to being put under stress.
