"Mad Science" Day at the Y

Our School District is closed for MLK Day  Monday, January 16th. Bring the kids to the Y for a "Mad Science" Day!


At 10 a.m., the "Spin, Pop, Boom!" program will begin.  This 45-minute presentation let's the "Genie out of the bottle", touches on gravity, inertia and explores the effects of heat on sound as well as on liquids  -- as a result there are lots of exothermic reactions in this show. The scientific process is reinforced throughout as children participate in a Centrifugal Force Platform, Bungee jump, listen to Didgeridoo Tubes, and observe our rainbow maker.  Members of the audience will participate in a number of the experiments!  

The remainder of the day will be filled with assorted, recreational activities!  Be sure to pack a lunch, but afternoon snack will be provided.
