Discovery Days Provide Your Entire School with Fun, Hands-on Science

Schools often tell us the Mad Science Discovery Day is the highlight of their entire year! |

| A Mad Science Discovery Day can accomodate 300 - 400 students a day in groups of 80 - 100 students at a time. The Discovery Day is an all-inclusive event for your school and students. Mad Science provides all the materials, equipment and instructors. |

See below for a sample Discovery Day schedule |
| All activities correlate to your curriculum and science standards. Each Science Station is presented in an age and grade appropriate manner. |
