Science Circus is free and open to the public.
The activities will provide something of interest for almost everyone, said Pat Berger of the museum, part of the Laboratory's Community Relations (CRO) Office. Attendees can wander between demonstrations about the human brain, robotic insects and real insects from the Pajarito Plateau.
"Children can learn how sound waves move through water and how scorpions and tarantulas move on the ground," Berger said. "They will learn about some of the physical properties of water, and seemingly, how to defy gravity by controlling fluid instabilities."
Other hands-on events include such subjects as magnets, geology, acids and bases.
Presenters include staff from the Laboratory, Los Alamos County Extension Office and Balloon Explorium in Albuquerque.
The Bradbury Science Museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in Los Alamos. Museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
