hands-on science activities for the entire family and is free.
Kids of all ages can create floods and earthquakes or watch lava flow and volcanoes
erupt. Events include physics and chemistry demonstrations, Lego robotics competitions,
slicing rocks and making slime. Scientists will show the differences between Alaska
volcanoes and those in other parts of the world through volcano eruption demonstrations.
Rip the reindeer will visit for the day.
Everyone is welcome to participate in hands-on activities including the water erosion
