Physics Discovery Days provides fun for the entire family. The program is geared toward upper-elementary school students and their parents, and complements our Physics is Phun series aimed at a high-school level audience. Physics Discovery Days is an interactive program consisting of an introductory demonstration show followed by a hands-on workshop. Participants become scientists as they experiment, build, and play with a variety of activities.
