SUMMARY:Fear: The Science of Phobias
DESCRIPTION:CLOSED ON MOST MONDAYS \n  \nWhat are you afraid of? Snakes? \nThunder? Spiders? Cotton balls? \nEveryone is afraid of something and we all have different thresholds for what frightens us. But\, no matter what it is that scares us\, there’s one thing we know for sure\, FEAR causes our bodies to react in extreme ways — hearts pound\, palms sweat\, muscles freeze and knees shake. \nFear: the Science of Phobias explores the science behind our greatest fears. Through hands-on opportunities\, an exciting array of science based programming and regularly scheduled performances at our FEAR stage\, visitors will have the chance to face and maybe even conquer some of their greatest phobias…

SUMMARY:Final showing of IMAX film Everest
DESCRIPTION:Final IMAX Film Showing of Everest\nSunday\, July 28\, 2019\n\nJoin us as we mark the end of an era and the beginning of a new one in our IMAX Dome theater.

Our plan is to reopen the theater in late October (or early November) with all new seats\, sound system\, lighting\, and\, of course\, a new digital projection system.Please note: The Exploreum will remain open during the digital upgrade. The theater is the only portion that will close during this time.  (More on the digital theater renovation can be found here.)\n\nCome help us celebrate as we move forward into the future of the Exploreum!\n\n\nShowtimes: 1pm\, 2pm\, 3pm\, & 4pm.\nRegular admission prices apply.\nExploreum members get the normal discounted admission.

SUMMARY:Alabama Task Force One - K9 Team Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a look into the real world of Search and Rescue K9 training in conjunction with our summer IMAX film\, Superpower Dogs! \nMore on AL-TF1 K9:\nWe are a team of dedicated volunteers that train weekly to be the best search and rescue team that we can be. The dogs are our personal pets but when they go to work – watch out! They are a force to be reckoned with. They love their job and we love being on the other end of the leash! \nWe train for what is called ‘Urban Search and Rescue.’ What this means is that our dogs are trained to find people that are trapped or buried in rubble from collapsed buildings or structures. Our dogs are trained to find the smell of EVERY person that may be trapped\, instead of looking for one specific person. \nOur dogs come from all over – some were picked up as strays on the street and their lives have been turned around and they have gone from being rescued to being the rescuers. Other dogs were purpose-bred and purchased with the sole purpose of training them to be search and rescue dogs. \nWhat qualities do we look for in an Urban Search and Rescue Dog? We look for focus\, intensity\, fearlessness\, and most importantly of all…the desire to work and do the job. While it is a serious task\, the dogs love what they do! \nWe will be demonstrating some of the skills that a Search K9 must have in order to achieve certification and be deployment-ready. These skills include obedience\, agility\, direction and control\, and of course…search skills! \nhttps://www.wkrg.com/news/what-s-working/whats-working-k-9-disaster-teams-train-year-round_2018020709032950/957187295
