The Rockwood School District presents the third annual Science Expo Saturday, Sept. 26 at Eureka High School (4525 Highway 109 in Eureka) from 1 – 5 p.m. This unique districtwide expo is an interactive event that features hands-on exhibits for all ages. 

In addition to viewing hundreds of science fair projects from students throughout the district, exhibitors can:  explore how the mind can play tricks on you; experience fatal vision and why it is so dangerous to drink and drive; and confirm or bust many fascinating science “mythbusting theories.”

“The Science Expo offers families an opportunity to completely engage in every type of science,” says Mike Szydlowski, Coordinator of Science, K-12. “Whether you’re interested in animals, physics, chemistry or just really cool science, all ages will find something they love to play and interact with!” “This entire event is like a giant science playground,” Szydlowski adds. 

Other exhibits include: 

• Explore dinosaur models and replicas found at dig sites. 

• Toy with gravity in the Dino Bounce. 

• Pet a camel, mule, snake, chicken and more animals at the Petting Zoo. 

• Eat edible bug suckers, BBQ worms and space ice cream. 

• Observe a leaf blower hovercraft in action.
  

• Walk inside a 22’ model of the Earth.
  

• Experience the explosive side of chemistry.
  

• Play with lasers, optics, electrical displays and force.

There are over 50 exhibits at the expo, and several thousand people are expected to attend this year.
