Weird Science February 19, 2012

Experience Weird Science at Mystic Aquarium during February school vacation week. Curiosity, learning and wonder will heighten with all of the weird and wonderful demonstrations, hands-on activities and displays throughout the aquarium.

Do you know what happens when you put Ivory soap in the microwave? Come find out - it’s going to be really big! Watch bubbles grow and burst with a cloud of “smoke” as we combine water, soap and carbon dioxide. In our kids zone, there will be fun interactive tables with insta-snow and flubber. Through hands-on fun, learn how belugas use their blubber to stay warm and find out how animals see the world. Take part in a scavenger hunt and discover cool animals throughout the aquarium, including some that carry their babies in their mouths!

Daily activities are from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and are included with aquarium admission.
