Super Science Day: Splash! Exploring Water
Saturday, August 9, 10:30 am – 5 pm
Spend a day at the Montshire celebrating summer by getting wet! Outside in Science Park try making boats that float down the 'Rill." Test the strength of foil boats and experiment with what floats and sinks. Then explore the science of water at the Science Discovery Lab. Investigate the properties of water, experiment with density by making liquid rainbows, and see how colors behave in water. It promises to be a wet day both inside and out!
