Program Description
SUMMARY:
In this class, students will be introduced to the concepts of heat and heat transfer. They will be treated to six interactive demonstrations and four entertaining and educational hands-on activities.

A BRIEF SYNOPSIS:
The class will learn and observe the basic properties of heat by play-acting the role of atoms, as well as observing the effects and behavior of warm air and water. The children will witness a tea bag rocket-launch, a gravity defying candle lighting, and even take part in a sense-confusing temperature test.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
This class introduces children to the idea of heat and important related scientific concepts. Students will learn the physical explanation for the existence and sensation of heat, as well as its many characteristic properties.

NOTE: Mad Science 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.
