Trick or treating in a museum can be full of surprises because mixing up spooky science with costumes equals a bash to remember. Experimenting with ghosts and goblins is our very own little goblin, Alex Miranda. <\/p>\n
The Miami Children\u2019s Museum is decked out for Halloween. It\u2019s for the kiddos, so they do say it\u2019s not so scary. And that is true for the most part. Until Jason Voorhees chases you down a dark hallway with a knife. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Something spooky is happening at Miami Children\u2019s Museum. <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cDo you talk to the ghosts here at the museum throughout the year?\u201d<\/p>\n

First up, The Haunted House. <\/p>\n
Deborah Spiegelman: \u201cWe say, what scare level do you want?\u201d <\/p>\n
It says\u2026 Not so scary. <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cNot so scary is subjective.\u201d <\/p>\n
Deborah Spiegelman: \u201cIt is, well join me.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cIt should be very scary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deborah Spiegelman: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very wretched experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Juicelbeet: \u201cOur puking pumpkin experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cI\u2019ve conducted that experiment a few times in my life.\u201d <\/p>\n

Alex Miranda: \u201cWhat is the purpose of this experiment, doctor?\u201d <\/p>\n
Dr. Juicelbeet: \u201cWe like to introduce the kids to STEM activities.\u201d <\/p>\n
A place where being a little mad is a job qualification. <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cWhat is about to happen, doctor?\u201d <\/p>\n
Dr. Juicelbeet: \u201cBrace yourself! I\u2019m going to pour in our mixture first.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cThen we throw up.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dr. Juicelbeet: \u201cBubble. Toil and trouble. Eww.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cWhat will you do with this pumpkin now that the experiment is over?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Juicelbeet: \u201cI believe I\u2019m going to have to take him to the hospital.\u201d <\/p>\n
