Dear Friends of Mad Science,
Spring is here and we are about to start up our new After School Programs at 32 Valley schools. Our expert Mad Scientists are ready to bring excitement, fun and lots of learning to your child's school!
Want to learn more about Mad Science? Look for us on Channel 10 tomorrow morning, Friday, March 26th between 7:30 and 9:00am.
Don't miss the Arizona Parenting Camp Jamboree this weekend. Not only can you learn more about our popular summer camps, you can enjoy a FREE day of fun-filled, family activities like rock climbing, a petting zoo, arts & crafts, face painting and a special live Mad Science Show! We'll see you there! |
Mrs Wizard brings science fun to you
 | New Spring After School Programs!
Check out the list of participating schools on the left for our new Spring After School Programs. These hands-on classes run once a week for one hour of astounding science experiments on different exciting topics each week. All of our classes meet State and National Science standards, and teach kids the wonders of basic science principles. Your child might investigate the four forces of flight, and explore the science involved in rocket construction as she builds her own Skyblazer II Rocket to take home! Or, hop on board the chemistry express for a high-speed science experience. Perform instantaneous experiments in this fast-paced class on split-second reactions that go like mad! Pick up an Action Flask and have a blast !
Click here for easy, online registration, or give us a call at 480-222-2233. |

Cool Experiment - Ketchup Art! What you need:
 · Tarnished (brown) penny
· Ketchup packet (found at fast-food restaurants)
· Toothpick
· Paper towel
· Clock or watch
What you do:
1. Carefully tear the ketchup packet at one corner.
2. Use the toothpick to make a pattern on the penny with dabs of ketchup.
3. Wait 1 full minute, and then wipe off the ketchup with the paper towel.
4. What do you see?
5. Try this experiment using different substances like soy sauce, vinegar, or toothpaste. How well do they work?
What's going on?
You just performed a chemical reaction! While new pennies are shiny, old pennies are covered in a brown coating called copper oxide. Copper oxide is formed when copper combines with oxygen, just like iron combines with oxygen to form rust. When you coated the penny with ketchup, the vinegar in the ketchup combined with the copper oxide and changed into a chemical called copper acetate. Copper acetate can be wiped off the penny! The copper oxide coating that was in contact with the ketchup has been removed, so the spots look nice and coppery bright after the reaction. Any substance containing vinegar will also have this effect on a penny. |
