Phun with Physics-Translation Really Wierd Science
Thought you knew everything? Your right you do. Now come find out ways to
use and abuse that info. Join us for really strange examples of Physics gone
wrong. We'll shrink wrap a couple of volunteers just before we mummify them.
Find out how the Flaming Wheel of Death works. Watch as the Blob monster
comes to life (suggestion, please watch the old Steve McQueen version before
coming). Explore why your brain is trying to trick you ALL the time or "What
you see is not what is there", when a wall of squares turns into a frog or
was that a horse, no it was a horse frog, no, no it was 2 frogs, or was it 2
horses, AAAHHHHHHH. Broke my brain again. "Then all the kids brains were
changed beyond imagination and they ascended to a higher plane of being" (I
wonder how long it will be before the parents notice) and more. I told you
this was WEIRD SCIENCE.

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Program from 1 pm to 3 pm. (2 Total) 88 Guests. Rain, Rain and more Rain. Today there were actually things falling from the sky. To bad it wasn't a Chicken Little program. Phun with Physics or it's easy to tie Physics into an Astronomy program or was it the other way around???? Now that I have the heavy lead ball from the Supernova kit I can do so much more damage, I mean do so much more in the way of astronomy concepts then I could before. Lets just leave the details to your imagination, but we did shrink wrap 11 kids. 4 adults and mummify the whole crowd before I left for part two of my day.
