Spooky Science, the Sciencenter's 8th annual free Halloween celebration, will give visitors an opportunity to explore the tricked-out museum, meet creepy creatures, watch a spooky chemistry presentation, and make ghastly crafts that will help scare the ghosts away from their houses. On October 22, from 6 to 9 p.m. visitors will come to the museum in costume to experience a full line-up of special presentations, demonstrations and activities. Admission to Spooky Science is free, sponsored by Kionix.
The museum galleries will be transformed to include weird, gooey twists on favorite exhibits. 'Creepy crawlies' will bring louder screams in the 'Scream Chamber,' and those brave enough to use only their sense of touch can find unexpected squishy, slimy things in the 'Mystery Touch Box.'
Sciencenter visitors will also be introduced to unearthly creatures of the night (and day). The Ithaca College Chemistry Club will share weird tricks and treats of chemistry with live demonstrations at 6:30 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Children will also have an opportunity to make creepy crafts from 6-8:30 p.m., including 'Bleeding Paper' and 'Tricky Sticks' to fool your eyes with a trick-or-treat illusion. A surprise grand finale will begin at 8:30 p.m.
