Cambridge Science Festival

Next week is the Cambridge Science Festival, and there are some very cool events.

One of the several I want to bring the kids to is this one, but unfortunately I have class, its so not fair!

CSI Cambridge: Searching for Clues
Become a forensic scientist using your sleuthing skills and powers of observation! Examine everyday materials (flour vs. baking soda, natural vs. synthetic fibers) at the crime scene and perform simple tests to determine who's guilty! Winners are eligible for a prize raffle, and the crime scene set-up will include one suitable for K-3rd grades and another for 4th-8th grades. Presented by the Science Club for Girls.
Thursday April 26, 5:30PM - 8:30PM, Amigos/King Schools, 100 Putnam Avenue, Cambridge, MA.

I will however take time off to do this one:

LEGO DNA!
It's DNA Day! Drop into the Learning Lab at the MIT Museum to combine LEGOs into DNA molecules–and, while you're having fun with LEGOs, learn about DNA and protein synthesis.
Wednesday April 25, 10:00AM - 5:00PM
MIT Museum, 265 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, MA. Learning Lab.

And also:

Cambridge Explores the Universe
Be an astronomer! Make your own astronomical observations, both live and via remotely operated telescopes; take virtual journeys through space; join scientists in demonstrations and activities; make your way through multiple "Exploration Stations" where you can learn all about recent breakthroughs in astronomy–and much, much more. Special activities for younger children round out the day.
Saturday April 28, 1:00PM - 5:00PM
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics/Harvard College Observatory, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

And if the kids are really good I'll take them to the live taping of dragonfly tv. They love that show.
