The fourth and final event in The Center’s 2021-2022 Family Science Series, Cool Chemistry, is featured in today’s newspaper (4/8) in the Entertainment Extra section. The first-ever Family Science Series aims to increase the number of science-related events offered to the community and welcome new and previous visitors to The Center.
Cool Chemistry is scheduled for Saturday, April 9 at 2:00 PM in the Dow Arena Theater.
Reporter Avery White spoke with communications manager Summer Morgan about both the series and the Cool Chemistry event coming up on Saturday.
“We really wanted to focus on science and we’ve found that people have really enjoyed it,” Morgan said. “I’m excited about this one. We’re just trying to kind of reach different areas of the population, kids especially. They’re interested in all kinds of different things, and so we’re trying to find something that will spark imaginations of these different kids, whether it’s space or ocean creatures or chemistry.”

You’re invited to purchase tickets to The Aquarium: A Marine Micro Ballet on Saturday, March 5 at 2:00 PM at The Center! This family-friendly show is the third program in our 2021-2022 Family Science Series.
The Aquarium is a creation of musician Susan McDonald, in which she combines original music with footage of wildlife, creating live performances in which she is the “orchestra” and the animals are the “dancers.” The subjects are live animals who seem to dance to her music, while in reality, Susan has composed her music to flow naturally with the movements of the animals.
While a bit of creative editing is involved, the animals have given their approval by acting beautifully, humorously and even sometimes outrageously. The Aquarium features the strange and funny occupants of a saltwater reef aquarium, with characters such as the cranky little Pom Pom Crab, the fabulously creative Decorator Crab and the bright red and very active Serpent Star.
Tickets are available on a “pay what you can” basis with a suggested amount of $10 per person.
The Center is committed to offering programs that are financially accessible to everyone in our community by ensuring that anyone who wants to attend can attend. If you can afford to, please consider paying extra to help support those who cannot.
