2024-2025 School Year Themes:
Symphony of Colors
Learn about chromatography, make rainbow-vision spectacles, discover color-changing “walking water,” design a magic wand using colorful polymers,
create your own tie-dye chalk, investigate which colors are hiding in your candy, and more much.
These fun color STEM activities are not only pretty, but you also will learn about the scientific processes and understand important fundamentals of
chemistry as you perform the experiments.
Dr. Seuss Lab
Welcome to the magical world of Dr. Seuss. In this exciting science class, you will perform experiments inspired by Dr. Seuss's timeless tales.
Learn from Lorax by completing earth related experiments, make butter for “The Butter Battle,” use chemistry to grow Grinch’s heart three times bigger, make Bartholomew Oobleck, participate in the “Cat in a Hat” scientific challenge, complete fizzy Green Egg experiment, build a paper cup telephone to check if Horton can hear you, discover Gluppity Glup and Schloppity Slop, and much more.
Sub-Zero Science
There are cities in this world where freezing is the default condition and temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit are like a summer dream. Four million people and 5,500 animals call the coldest place on Earth their home.
Discover who lives in this land of ice and how they survive the Arctic wilderness. Do you ever wonder why fish do not freeze or what happens to mosquitos when the harsh winter in Alaska begins?
Grossology
It is time for Yikes, Eeeeewwws, and Ughs! From our stockpile of hundreds of formulas, we have chosen our top favorite disgusting chemical concoctions. Grossologists will indulge in making fake snot. Learn why snot is green, but why you would not want to live without it. Do snakes fart? How about butterflies? Did you know that some animals’ farts are deadly? Gross, really gross!
You will get to understand infections and the causes of smelly breaths. Could we stay healthy without mucus? Students will dissect owl pellets, participate in a slime race competition, discover secret hiding places of bacteria, measure the length of their own intestines, imitate cow burps, and make fake blood …and we are only getting started. Got a frog in your throat? Frogs cannot vomit, so they eject their entire stomach. Quite yucky, indeed.
This is definitely our most disgusting class. Yet, it is the kids’ favorite, so do not delay registering your child for this gooey science experience. Giggling is allowed in this class.

Science Mysteries
This class is calling all Marie Curies to understand the science behind a fascinating collection of experiments and hands-on demonstrations. If you want to mix it, bubble it, pop it, bend it, puff it, or bounce it – this is the class for you. Create weird substances and potions, learn the secrets of chemistry, and increase your curiosity and knowledge.
These awesome experiments will take the mystery out of science.
