Carnival & Science Spectacular

What do carnivals have to do with science? The Staten Island Children’s Museum investigates the connections at this annual event, which includes robotics demonstrations, Lego engineering, a solar-powered racecar and clowning devoted to the science of the circus. And, of course, all those physics expressed in amusement park rides. Among the new attractions this year are the NY Insect Zoo, farm animals and the “Fire and Ice Show” from the organization Mad Science.
