Fire & Ice

A local library in our county had a Fire & Ice free kids event. The flyer described it as: Explore basic science with a Mad Science twist. Combustion, giant vortexes and bubbling proportions help explain the three states of matter for a very cool time.

It was a fun 40 minute presentation and the kids loved it. They sat glued to the science guy and loved watching the cool fire and dry ice projects. He even jazzed it up with some comedy as he let a balloon fill up with dry ice gas and go sailing across the room. This had Andrew literally rolling on the floor where he sat with laughter. There were several funny things that he did and the audience would request for him to do it "again, again, again."

It was a really cool event for us to hit up. It had some education as well as cool stuff to watch. It may have been a bit more technical for the kids to understand but they sure did enjoy all that they got to see happen. From the flash paper on fire to the chemical solutions changing color to the dry ice it was all fun to watch. After all was said and done Megan's review was that it was just "okay" and Andrew thought it was "great." I thought it was a lot of fun and glad we got the chance to go.
