NMMSH: Free Science Saturday Program May 11

NMMSH News:
 
ALAMOGORDO Spin up a pan of water and make a miniature hurricane.
 
Join Education Director Dave Dooling for a (not too) messy morning using food dye and spinning water pans to simulate hurricanes and ocean circulation the way scientists do in laboratories. It’s not quite a tempest in a teapot, but its close enough. Science Saturday will be held 10 a.m. to noon in the front classroom of the museum’s New Horizons Dome Theater.
 
Science Saturday is free to the public and happens every second Saturday of the month. It is designed to be a fun and educational program for kids of all ages, with a different scientific focus each month.
