Mar 13, 2017 02:21PM ● By Today's Family
Spring into science during EGGSperiment! on Friday, April 14 and Saturday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Great Lakes Science Center.
 
Celebrate the amazing structure of the egg and find out if it's really possible to stand on a carton of eggs without cracking any, why eggs are, well, egg-shaped, and whether or not you can create a contraption that will safely deliver an egg from a 62-foot drop.
 
During this "EGGcellent EGGperience," guests can also delve into color and chromatography in a BASF Kids' Lab, test their balance skills and use LEGOs to design and build a catapult. All EGGstra activities are FREE with paid admission to the Science Center.
 
Visit the Science Center's website at GreatScience.com, or on Facebook, between now and March 17 and vote on a special "Friends' Choice" activity that will be added to the EGGSperiment activity schedule. Guests can choose from one of the following options:
