Magic of Science

Presented by Kansas City Young Audiences

This customizable workshop allows students to explore the world of science through the eyes of visual artist, Paige Ahlenius.

Kindergarteners through 8th graders can choose one of these 3 projects:

  1. Design your own crystal garden.
  2. Investigate the properties of matter by creating a lava lamp.
  3. Learn the secrets of invisible ink.

Students in 3rd through 8th grades can challenge themselves by designing and building their own gravity carousel. Discoveries abound when you put the arts and sciences together!
