Mad Science


Success Zone / Scanlan Oaks -
2025 Spring

Put on your lab coats and get ready to STEM with Mad Science. Our goal is to make science fun, relatable and easy to learn! Every week we will explore a different science topic with experiments and exciting discussions that will be guided by a specially trained Mad Scientist.

Semester at a Glance

Week Theme Lesson/Activity
1 Dry Ice Capades Students manipulate matter in all of its three states! They melt metal in boiling water and freeze water with just a breath of dry ice! They watch metal become liquid, and see water become a solid as dry ice sublimates - going straight from a solid to a gas!
2 Slime Time Kids ooze into a gooey hour of sliming around! They create slime using the Mad Science recipe and then enter the Slime Olympics! They get to take home their own concoction of Mad Science Slime!
3 Glow Show Students discover amazing things that glow bright in the dark! They probe the properties of light and explore some unusual applications of glow-in-the-dark technology! They learn to make secret messages that only they can see!
4 Detective Science Kids play detective and help crack a case! They inspect fingerprints, mystery powders, ink samples, and teeth impressions. Then, they create a composite from memory.
5 Science of Toys What makes toys work? Kids learn about motorized toys and take a spin with kinetic tops. They balance a bird to reveal its center of gravity.
6 Bugs! Kids engross themselves in entomology! They inspect authentic insect specimens. They update their insect anatomy know-how and match up insects with their habitats.
7 Earthworks Kids dig into Earth Science! They uncover rock samples and discover how they formed. They inspect fluorescing minerals, model the moving plates that cause bends and breaks, and learn how sediment stacks.
8 Lab Works Kids experience what it’s like to be real Mad Scientists in this whirlwind class on how a lab works! They learn to manipulate laboratory equipment and experiment at their personal lab bench.
9 Chem in a Flash Children hop on board the chemistry express for a high-speed science experience! They perform instantaneous experiments in this fast-paced class about split-second reactions that go like mad!
10 Junior Reactors Children create a tiny world of atoms! They learn to recognize chemical reactions and mix up a few reactive ingredients for some sensational results!
