WHAT TO EXPECT

The Science of Flight

It's fun for the whole family as Science World's demonstration team explores some of the physical principles that allow aircraft to fly through the air. Witness sailing toilet paper, soaring rubber chickens, and rocket launched pop bottles. We will even try boiling water at ordinary room temperature to show some of the hazards that pilots face when traveling at high altitude.

Shows are free of charge with admission to the Airshow.
