Mad Science Holiday Spectacular Science Show!

November 29, 2022 by Holly Williams Leave a Comment

It’s the  most wonderful time of the year and Mad Science is going to share it with you! You won’t believe your eyes as you try to determine if what you’re seeing is magic or science. Don’t worry, we’ll explain it all as we use our indoor fireworks to create a festival of lights and share our top secret “special ice”, shipped straight from the North Pole. It all comes together with our magical no-melt snow. You’ll have to see it to believe it!

Biomes with live animals!

May 19, 2022 by Holly Williams Leave a Comment

Chewonki will be visiting the library once again!

“From forests to deserts, and grasslands to the oceans, we will explore different biomes of our planet. Our focus is on three of the major biomes: rain forests, deserts and oceans.

A closer look at the flora and fauna will reveal the adaptations necessary to thrive within these unique areas. Our lesson uses slides, real specimens, and three live, non-releasable animals to discuss some of the specific species that call these special places home.”

This program is aimed towards 3rd graders up through adults.
