About The
Program
Pacific Science Center offers 15-30 minute demonstrations
on a →variety of
subjects. Our
goal is to teach science in a dynamic and fun way. We
use live experiments and animals to convey science
concepts, adding a theatrical twist.
We aim not only to educate, but to create enthusiasm for
science by taking it out of the stuffy halls of academe and
onto the stage, making it accessible to everyone. To that
end, our demonstrations focus on the aspects of science to
which everyone can relate: the satisfying of curiosity, the
play of experimentation, the practicality of safety and the
insight of observation. Long after people leave our shows
and have forgotton about the temperature of liquid nitrogen
or why a snake has a forked tongue, we hope they will still
carry a lasting positive impression that will motivate them
to learn more.
