At Home Experiments
It's important that children learn and explore the world of science when school is out! In an effort to support parents with at-home learning, we’ve compiled a list of at-home experiments that you can do with your kids using household ingredients. Family time can be both entertaining and education!
Start Experimenting!
The kids are having a great time and enjoy sharing all they have learned. Even though the program is online, they are staying engaged enough that both their parents can work from home.

Both of our boys did Mad Science summer camps when they were younger, and loved the experience! It was a very fun and interactive experience for them. And counselor Beth Morrell is the best!!!

My son attended the Earth, Space & Beyond Mad Science Camp last summer and absolutely loved it! The hours were convenient for our family, and the location was close by for us. We're sending him again to a Mad Science camp this upcoming summer. These are well run camps, in our experience, and I recommend them for people looking for a fun, science-based camp experience.
