Live Science Shows
See experiments, theatrics, and tricks in action at one of PacSci’s Live Science Shows. Shows are presented each day on the Building One Live Science Stage, and each promises to inspire curiosity, enlighten, and entertain people of all ages.
Scientific topics for shows are chosen every morning so there is always something new to see and experience. Explore adaptations and evolution, experience the chemistry of combustion, investigate the science of sound, be amazed at the physics of bubbles, confuse your eyes at an optical illusion show, meet one of PacSci’s snakes, and more. Every day features different shows and topics!
