Mad Science Fun Stations

Mad Science Fun Stations

       Here are just a few examples of our entertaining, hands-on and educational science booths.

Slippery Science 

Let's get Slimed! Children can get to explore the exciting world of polymers, through seeing and touching examples and learning how they are used. They will also get to transform two liquids by chemical reaction into an oozing batch of their very own slime.  

Dry Ice Storm 

At this station children will explore the 3 states of matter, by seeing water turn to ice in seconds, and experience the mystery of “sublimation”.   They will see just how cold “cold” can really be by seeing shivering metals and bubbling potions. Children will also get to see CO2 at work by “tasting” carbonation.  

“Watts Up” Electricity

Children will investigate the power of electricity, its properties and its role in natural phenomena.   They will see indoor lightning, experience hair-raising experiments, and solve the riddle of conductivity while creating circuits. 

Chemistry Canister Poppers

At this station children will get to experience the power of compressed carbon dioxide and acid-base reactions by creating a mini popper explosion. A real favorite among children and completely safe.  

Harnessing Heat/Cotton Candy

Children will experience how matter changes with temperature with some hot and cold demonstrations including the making of Sugar glass! Everyone will get a cone and will learn the interesting history of spun sugar. This science is very sweet!

Sonic Sounds

Children will get to actually “see” sound through creating standing waves with our string things, experience how it travels differently through the 3 states of matter and use our multi-effects processor to alter heir own voice, with lots of cool special effects...       

Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs - Examine real fossil casts, and explore the differences in herbivores and carnivores dinosaurs. Students will participate in a mini dinosaur excavation and make a cast of a dinosaur tooth to take home

Rocket Balloons

Children will learn about rockets, rocket powered flight and thrust by teaming with other students to demonstrate how thrust can be directed and is used for power.

Ecosystems

Here children will learn about ecosystems, what defines them, their component parts and how they can be sustained by actually creating one to take home.  

Science of Baseball

Here children will experiment with “gravity” and its amazing effects on the game, find a bat’s “sweet spot” and how fast their baseball reactions are with our React-o-Meter. They will demonstrate “energy transfer” inherent in baseball, and can even see them what a “Devil Ray” really is and cool facts about them.  

Moving Motion 

Action equals reaction at this energetic station  as students will discover the science behind movement performing experiments with friction, inertia and other physical forces affect movement.  Buckle up for a spectacular demonstration of these forces with a hovercraft ride for all interested pilots.
