County Library Hosts Dinoman’s “Superheroes of Science”
The Cape May County Library invites kids, ages 4 and up, and their families to “Superheroes of Science” presented by Dinoman Science. The program will take place at each of our library branches in July.
What does the world’s fastest toilet paper shooter, quantum locking levitation, and T-Rex have in common? They are all featured in the newest Dinoman Science presentation—Super Heroes of Science! Of course there are a multitude of science super heroes, but for this show Einstein, Bernoulli, and Mary Anning will be featured. Although there is a lot of information, the visual experiments and props make the program suitable for audience members ages 4 to adult. How do planes fly? How cold is 321 degrees below zero? How do you entangle electrons? How are fossils created? All this and more is explained in this fast paced, high energy production.
