Program Description

SUMMARY: In this class, students are introduced to the concepts of atoms and reactions! A demonstration of the differences between physical and chemical reactions is followed by a hands-on series of experiments. The relative size of an atom is introduced in a cutting edge race as the children try to reduce a strip of paper down to its atomic size! The children explore how atoms join together and how molecules react using their Take-Home Atomic Coins kit.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE: This class provides a basic lesson on the atomic make-up of matter. Students will perform experiments and analyze their results to differentiate between the chemical and physical changes that may occur in a reaction. The children can create model molecules and use them to follow the atomic rearrangements that occur in a chemical reaction.

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.
