What: During Silverwood’s 14th Annual Science Day, they turn their theme park into one of the world’s most unique classrooms. They’ve created an event where students can test the principles of physics and science for themselves using rides, games, and other attractions. Students will participate in educational competitions like the Amazing Egg Drop, watch science-themed Discovery Channel movies, learn about the Aquifer at the DEQ Educational booth or at the new KSPS Public Television booth, and a whole lot more. Each participating class receives a curriculum to use that includes instructions for contests and an engineering and construction skills test. All rides and attractions are open and running on Science Day, but Boulder Beach will be closed.
