EGGstreme Science
April 1-30, 2011
Spring into Imagination Station for EGGciting, EGGcentric activities for the entire month of April. It’s the perfect time to check out our newest EGGxhibits, the BIG DIG and Engineer IT!
OPEN 7 days a week in April!
Spring Break is here and we have tons of activities to keep you busy!
In Science Studio throughout the month will be EGGciting activities:
- “Cook” eggs in liquid nitrogen
- “Suck” an egg into a jar
- Soak eggs in vinegar and watch how they progress every day
- Squeeze an egg without breaking it
- Learn about egg density (floating and sinking eggs)
- Great egg carton take home activities!
Tons of EGGcitement throughout the month!
April 16th
1-3pm
Family Workshop – Don’t Crack Up
Eggs are fragile (and messy when they break!). Learn about materials engineering while protecting an egg during the classic egg drop challenge. Then we’ll push your family’s engineering skills to see if your egg can survive a journey down the zip line. Make sure you dress appropriately for this potentially messy workshop!
April 18th
We will have 101.5 The River hanging out from 11am-2pm.
April 22nd & 23rd
Decorate your own easter eggs in Science Studio.

Closed for Easter.

A bit of error correction about the video above. I must have been confused by the whole missing microphone deal in the beginning. I totally got my egg soaking/swelling stories backwards.
The egg that grew in size is the one that I soaked in water for a few days. Since the egg membrane is permeable, (the egg whites are about 90% water) water will move across the membrane into the egg and cause it to swell.
Will definitely stop by for these exhibits. Got one I’d like to share too. One of the kids favorites when I do my programs for them.
Looking forward to seeing your activity Dawn!
That was cooooooo!
