The ultimate one-day science carnival will close this year’s Philadelphia Science Festival with 150 exhibitors presenting a packed line-up of live entertainment, interactive activities, games, and family-friendly experiments. You can enjoy liquid nitrogen ice cream, make gak, meet live zoo animals, check out the inner-workings of robots, take a tour of a helicopter, extract DNA from a strawberry, test a “crime scene” for forensic evidence, and so much more!
At the Spells booth, we’ll be helping young scientists solve the mystery of the stolen yeti poop. Children will take their own fingerprints to eliminate them as suspects, then they’ll learn how to examine the forensic evidence to determine the real culprit. Once they’ve made their accusation, they’ll write the end to the mystery!
