Events and Activities : Kablooey!!! Science Center presentation coming to Vinton June 11

The Science Center of Iowa (SCI) is bringing “Kablooey!,” its summer library program to the Vinton Public Library on June 11th at 10:30 AM

The “Kablooey!” program is part of SCI’s Science @ Your Site outreach, which brings fun, engaging experiments to schools and libraries across Iowa.

With the help of SCI’s trained outreach presenters, “Kablooey!” will take children on an exciting journey through the three main states of matter, culminating in the discovery of why things go “boom.” The program will introduce children to the scientific properties of air, pressure and sound through a variety of experiments.

During “Kablooey!,” children will experience the fizzy spectacle of baking soda and vinegar, create a cloud in a bottle, make music with straws and more. After learning about each state of matter, children will see how all three interact to launch a rocket. They also will leave with several safe science experiments they can perform in their own backyards.

This program highlights the importance of science learning and experimentation beyond the classroom. It also reflects SCI’s mission to engage and inspire Iowans along their journey of lifelong science learning.
