Nov. 21: It's Elementary, Dear Watson

Dec. 5: It's About Time!

How long is a minute? What is leap year all about? Does daylight savings time really save time? Explore the world of time and time zones. Create your own way to measure time without using a clock.

The probability that two snow crystals will be exactly alike, in molecular structure and in appearance, is very minute. And to prove otherwise would not be easy. Each winter there are about 1 septillion (1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 or a trillion trillion) snow crystals that drop from the sky!
 

Arizona Science Center events 

The Phoenix Chapter of the Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce (PGCC) has partnered with Arizona Science Center to create The Green Room in the Sybil B. Harrington Galleries on Level 3. The Green Room theme "Moving in the Right Direction" demonstrates how small, simple choices of green products, services and practices can make a dramatic impact on the social and environmental fabric of the Valley of the Sun.

The Green Room will be on exhibit from Nov. 7, 2009 - Jan. 6, 2010.
