Spy Science
South Florida Science Center and Aquarium
Friday, May 30, 2014 – from 6-9 p.m.
WHAT: Nights at the Museum – Spy Science
MISSION: TOP SECRET. Small-scientists are invited to crack the code with ‘Spy Science’ as they learn about forensic science by dusting for prints, exploring microscopic evidence and writing their own secret messages with invisible ink!
Activities include:
- Write and discover an invisible ink message
- I spy, cow eye dissection
- CSI lab finger printing and magnified hair samples
- Master the art of Morse Code
Additionally, all attendees will be able to explore Mazes, the Science Center’s newest traveling exhibit. Mazes winds its way over 9,000 square-feet with more than 60 puzzling experiences that inspire endless hours of exploration and ingenuity. Visitors will have the opportunity to run a marathon with their fingers on the Finger Mazes; become a “webmaster” by climbing through an intricate web of ropes in the Web Maze; get lost in a network of color in the Color Maze; and conquer puzzling perplexities in the Maze of Illusions, where what you see may not be what you get!

WHO: On the last Friday of every month, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium hosts a themed ‘Nights at the Museum’– a family friendly opportunity to enjoy extended hours of the Science Center’s typical offerings as well as a chance to view the night sky through the Science Center’s observatory. Once monthly, weather permitting, the ScienceCenter opens its observatory dome, which rotates to allow for the best views. Guests will be treated to craters, comets and galaxies visible by the telescope.
Monthly ‘Nights at the Museum’ events run from 6pm – 9pm, with the observatory remaining open until 10pm, and every month there is a different theme. Activities often include arts and crafts, animal dissections and dry ice experiments.
WHY: With a new mission to “open every mind to science,” the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium features more than 50 hands-on educational exhibits, an 8,000 gallon fresh and salt water aquarium- featuring both local and exotic marine life, a digital planetarium, conservation research station, Florida exhibit hall and an interactive Everglades exhibit.
