San Diego Science Festival - EXPO Day March 27, 2010

March 27 - PETCO Park - 10am-5pm - brings together over 150 hands-on science activities and stage performances for people of all ages and interest levels. You can see actual DNA and perform DNA extraction techniques, use your olfactory gland (nose) to identify the organic molecules that create the flavors, aromas, and colors in your favorite foods, get an up close look at the science of baseball, and put your forensic skills to the test to solve a birthday cake mystery by analyzing saliva samples of the suspects. Performers will bring science to life with a display of impressive reptiles in "Close Encounters of the Cold Blooded Kind," the Science of Magic will be revealed as objects disappear before your eyes, dry ice will be used to create bubbling potions to produce a large-scale theatrical effect, and sing along as you increase your science knowledge with the Galapagos Mountain Boys performing their scientific inspired folk songs about the Big Bang, star formation, cosmology, anthropology, and more.
