Science On Wheels
Science On Wheels is hitting the road this summer. Come visit libraries around the Upstate to enjoy hands-on STEM fun.
Our brand-new public assembly, Coastal Critters, allows participants to meet and learn about some of the animals that populate our shorelines. You’ll discover how they are an important part of marine ecosystems. Using a combination of live animals, biofacts and videos, participants will get a first-hand look at what these amazing creatures are like.

During Super Cold Science, we will use liquid nitrogen to show how solids, liquids and gases are affected by extreme changes in temperature. Participants will learn how water is different from most other materials and watch the properties of materials change before their eyes. These assemblies will be at the following Pickens County libraries:
June 27 – Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library, Easley, 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
June 27 – Sarlin Library, Liberty, 2:30 p.m.

Sometimes science demonstrations can seem like magic. The difference is, scientists love to explain how things work! During Science Magic, your educator will perform several demonstrations that may first seem like magic. Then, with the help of volunteers and observations from the audience, we will figure out the science behind the trick, and learn what is really happening. Cherokee County libraries will have the following assembly dates:
July 12 – Main Library, Gaffney, 11 a.m.
July 12 – Blacksburg Library, 2 p.m.
