Tall Ships & Pirate Tales (or- Actions & Reactions) Ahoy! People don’t just build on land. They build on water, too! Set sail with us on a thrilling action-packed adventure about a crew of quirky pirates marooned on a deserted island. With mutiny and high-tide looming, they must rescue their salty captain and find a way to construct a ship before all hope is lost … at sea! Planks, sails, rigging, rails... what else could building a pirate ship possibly take? Throughout the story, volunteers from the audience will help us explore the incredible science behind clouds, flash paper, air pressure, inertia, explosions and more. Don’t miss this refreshing nautical tale with a twist! This Scienceteller program is supported in part by a grant from the Spencer Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts cultural Council, a state agency.

This  program meets in the Richard Sugden Library community room on April 18th from 1:00-1:45 and is open to everyone ages 4 and up.
