A performance combining music, dance and sculpture with science captivated a large audience Saturday at Family Science Days during the AAAS Annual Meeting.

Lelavision Performance Company along with David Lynn, professor of chemistry at Emory University, performed “The Evolution of Life.” The show included a warm up session in which  the viewers learned some basic dance moves.

Family Science Days gives families and children of all ages an opportunity to enjoy hands-on exhibitions focused on science. Visitors Saturday had the chance to engage with a variety of scientists and science organizations throughout the day. Everything from dry ice experiments to colorful paints and crafts were popular features at the exhibitions.

A stage set up for Meet the Scientists hosted 30-minute presentations on a range of science topics. After the show, audience members had the opportunity to meet the presenter one-on-one and have their questions answered.

Family Science Days continues on Sunday (20 February) in Exhibit Hall D of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. This event is free and open to the public.
