Is it a LIQUID or a SOLID??! Combine the sciences with OOBLECK! Kids can make their own, get a little gooey, and watch it dance!
Oobleck is a classic science experiment that's perfect for entertaining both kids and adults. If you haven't seen it in action it's very fascinating stuff and before too long you'll have your hands covered with it, happily making a mess that can be washed away with water. The "Bio Butter" acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.

Laptop Orchestra of Arizona State (LOrkAS) is an experimental sonic art performance collective exploring the use of the laptop as ensemble instrument for musical expression. We are using this medium to develop new possibilities and skills in listening, improvisation, performance, composition, coding, and teaching, as well as adapting contemporary classical repertoire and 'classic' laptop orchestra works for our purposes. Visit the group's website at http://lorkas.org
LOrkAS will perform:
Visitors can explore fun with mirrors, heat, static electricity, balancing objects and more! Highlights include an electrostatic juggler, fun mirrors, water tornado races, floating ping pong balls. Children will also be able to make colorful balancing butterflies, and static electric charge detectors.
Come participate in an extraordinary take home project that involves the Physics behind Air, Wave, and Sound!
