Mad Science: Ready, STEM, GO!

Encounter science that’s all around us! Discover the wonderful world of animals— above and below water! Feel the force of energy and the might of motion in exciting physics explorations. Shake up a mixture, and experiment with telecommunication! The amazing take home projects in every class will have you exploring more at home!

Individual class topics:

All About Animals - Children go beyond feathers, fins, and fur to find out more about the habitats, anatomy, and life cycles of amazing creatures. They experiment with camouflage an learn to identify and imitate sounds that animals make.

Energy Burst - Children experiment with potential and kinetic energy as they pop, jump, and flip with hopping and spinning toys. Children learn about the potential of stored energy in wind-up gadgets.

Get Connected - Children take on telecommunications! Children chat over cables, link to a network and work with radio signals. They learn about the technology developed to allow for long-distanced communication and investigate the electromagnetic spectrum.

Life in the Sea- Children learn about the vast range of life found in the sea--from plankton to sponges to whales! They learn how living things are adapted to their ocean habitats, and find out what humans can do to protect ocean life.

Mix It Up - It's time to shake up solutions and explore mixture chemistry. Children sort out mixtures, clear color from a watery solution and see how useful a suspension can be. The Super Sorter gives children the tools to sort mixtures at home.

Moving Motion - Children catapult into Newton's three laws of motion! Learn all about the forces behind the movement of planes, trains, and automobiles. They yank a cloth from under dishes, send cars racing, and drop some (plastic) eggs!
