UW invites kids, families for ‘paws-on’ science activities this weekend
Consider whether comic books can make you healthier. Watch water run uphill. Discover what happens when you combine computers, floating objects and quantum physics.
Interested? Then grab the kids and head for Paws-On Science: Husky Weekend, March 30, 31 and April 1, at Pacific Science Center, for these activities and a chance to visit 45 other stations featuring UW research.
