“Sounds like Science”
Want to hear some good vibrations? Our sound show explores how sound is made and how we hear it. Everyone will be shocked as we create a dinosaur roar with simple materials.

Take to the skies as this introduction to rocketry explains how and why rockets fly. You’ll witness real model rocket launches that soar several hundreds of feet into the air and deploy parachutes for their return. (Outdoor show only.

Basic Program Information
Each fun, interactive and educational show is approximately 45-60 minutes long (your choice), and requires access to electricity and water. We require 60 minutes before the first show to set up, and 15 minutes between shows to reset.
Mad Science shows are limited to approximately 150 children per show in order to maintain the interactive nature of the program. We prefer to have the kids sit on the floor for the same reason.
During the show all of the students are actively involved with touching, smelling, listening to, and even tasting some of the demonstrations. Volunteers from each classroom help in the presentation of the show - a great way to build self-esteem and social skills.
