It seems that bad weather and free science projects go hand-in-hand.

Our first-ever Second Saturday Science came on a snowy day in October, and if the forecast holds it will be a cold and snowy morning tomorrow for our second event.

It will be another fun one, though, so I hope you can join us. Just to recap, here are the details:

• The projects will take 15-30 minutes, and you can stop by anytime between 10 a.m. and noon.
• They are designed to be done by a grown-up along with a student roughly from 6- to 10-years old, but we won’t be checking IDs or anything.
• It’s at the Whole Foods Market, 1111 S. Washington St.
• It’s totally free, with the generosity of Whole Foods in supplying us the space and the materials.

No bombs this time, but you will get to build something and then try to destroy it! As always we’ll have full instructions and use only stuff that you either have at home now or can get from the grocery store.

We listened to the feedback from last time, and so this time along with the fun we’ll add a small bit of explanation of the science behind what we are doing, and something about the environment, too.

Also, if you are Facebooky type, we have a new Facebook Group page. Don’t be alarmed by the lack of activity on it; I just started it and haven’t yet promoted it at all. We’ll get that ramped up as we keep going. If you are on Facebook, though, do become a member of our group.

We had a big crowd last time, and this time we are going to be in the café area so we’ll have plenty of room even if we have more people.

So, we are looking forward to seeing you there. In the meantime, thanks for reading!
