Science is cool again!

How does a 3D printer work? Why is tape sticky? Did the Brontosaurus ever exist? Kids in all walks of life are invited to "Ask a Scientist!" these questions and more. This twice-a-week, family friendly science segment is the perfect compliment to your morning, after school, and weekend line-up.

Segments are not time sensitive -- run them as you see fit.

A co-production of KAFM-FM and the John McConnell Math & Science Center of Western Colorado. Made possible with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
