San Diego Science Festival - EXPO Day
March 27 - PETCO Park - 10am-5pm - brings together over 150 hands-on
science activities and stage performances for people of all ages and
interest levels. You can see actual DNA and perform DNA extraction
techniques, use your olfactory gland (nose) to identify the organic
molecules that create the flavors, aromas, and colors in your favorite
foods, get an up close look at the science of baseball, and put your
forensic skills to the test to solve a birthday cake mystery by analyzing
saliva samples of the suspects. Performers will bring science to life with
a display of impressive reptiles in "Close Encounters of the Cold Blooded
Kind," the Science of Magic will be revealed as objects disappear before
your eyes, dry ice will be used to create bubbling potions to produce a
large-scale theatrical effect, and sing along as you increase your science
knowledge with the Galapagos Mountain Boys performing their scientific

anthropology, and more.
