Grab a magnifying glass for a closer look at how science solves mysteries! From analyzing ink to examining handwriting, science is part of every sleuth’s toolkit. Younger participants (7 and under) will inspect tracks to figure out who left a footprint while older kids (ages 8+) will discover how blood types can help crack a case. The one thing this night is sure to prove: science is so much fun!
