Science Of Toys (Hands-On Workshop) Other,
Science

** Science of Toys ** Did you know that some of your favorite toys work using basic science principles? Use bouncing balls, yo-yos and other classic toys to discover the science of motion through fun hands-on activities. Find out how vector toys and string things work, and bring home a glowing “Mad Science Yo-Yo”. Mad Science Enrichment Programs are fun explorations into science and technology, and they encourage informal learning through hands-on experience. All Mad Science workshops include a lot of fascinating equipment, supplies, and take-home materials which the children build themselves. The Mad Science mission is to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining, and educational activities which instill a clear understanding of what science really is, and how it affects the world around them.
$101- $200

Acids and Bases (Hands-On Workshop) Other,
Science

**Acids and Bases** Uncover the secrets of chemistry and the effects acids and bases have on our daily lives! Test common household items with Litmus Paper to determine acidity & alkalinity levels. You will also learn how to make a CO2 fire extinguisher, and watch as a test tube pops using an acid and a base!

Adventures in Air (Preschool Workshop) Other,
Science

**Adventures in Air** Preschoolers will learn that even though air is invisible it is all around them all the time. They will also learn that air has the power to both move items and to slow them down. They will also experiment with a variety of items that rely on the air to help them move, and they will put together their own airplane. These are programs specifically designed for children ages 3 and 4, and take place at your location. Our only requirements are: a room that can be darkened if needed, with tables and chairs where the children can work comfortably; a small table to set up our equipment and access to water and electricity. The children perform experiments, participate in demonstrations and, for most workshops, there is a take home item for each child at the end of the program.
$101- $200

Slime! (Hands-on Workshop) Other,
Science

**Slime!** Giant molecule chains called polymers are vital to modern civilization. In this program, you will explore, create and play with a most entertaining and useful molecule. Discover its many shapes and forms. Transform two regular liquids into an oozing batch of your very own slime you can take home.
