Phenomenal Physics
March 1 - 31
In March the focus is on physics in daily life. Play with light energy in The Light House: Beaming, Bouncing, and Bending Light . Detect changes in motion in Science in the Park . Attend the live presentation Fantastic Forces to explore Newton's Laws of Motion or attend Super-Cold Science to observe the properties of matter. You can also study forms of energy in the Theater of Electricity's daily presentations.
