The most wonderful time of the year is back at the Science Mill!
Enjoy 35 TONS of real snow right here in Johnson City, plus all these exciting happenings:
SNOW DAY DEMOS
At this year’s Snow Day, expect science to be “snow” much fun in demos involving Liquid Nitrogen, a Rubens Tube, and Frosty Bubbles!
Liquid Nitrogen (10:30 am & 12:30 pm)
Watch as we demonstrate the amazing chemical properties of a super icy substance. See molecular properties revealed and states of matter shift as we expose everyday objects to liquid nitrogen at -321 degrees F!Frosty Bubbles (11:00 am, 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm)
Marvel as a Science Mill educator creates swirling, frosty bubbles from dry ice.Rubens Tube (11:30 am, 1:30 pm)
A change of pace from the snowy forecast… let’s learn about the physics of sound waves with fire! In this demonstration, we will use high frequency (higher pitch) and low frequency (lower pitch) tones to create flammable standing waves, and teach guests about the physics of wave frequency, amplitude, and wavelength.
ACTIVITIES
Guests will also have the chance to experience winter-themed hands-on activities like Mini Sled Derby, Snowball Slingshot, Icicle Xylophones, and more! Available from 10am - 2pm!
Snowball Slingshot - Guests will use a mounted slingshot to launch snowballs to hit hanging hula-hoop targets.
Icicle Xylophones - Compose a snow symphony on a one-of-a-kind instrument that’s made of ice and powered by computer.
Mini Sled Derby - Can you build the fastest derby racer on track AND ice?
Arctive Geese Migration - Learn all about Arctic Geese and their migration patterns as you construct a geese glider that uses the principles of aerodynamics to glide! Facilitated by our community partner, Girlstart
