Mad Science!

Kingston is feeling the electrons!

  The Bentonville library in NW Arkansas hosts an event each year for the children to get an opportunity to get excited about science!  As you can see from my picture above, my shy little 7 year old that never wants attention on himself, was actually on his knees waving his hand back and forth for the chance to volunteer.  My eyes did get a little misty seeing how proud he was to be selected and watch his hair rise with such a LARGE group of strangers.  How can you go wrong when you mix science and fun!?!

 

Vaughn got picked to join the boys vs. girl team!

The Race is on for both teams!

Vaughn is a true sport - he started praying for his tornado win!

 I will be adding my own little video clip after gathering all the pictures.  I took over 200!  The kids loved the vortex cannon, learning about sublimation, Doppler and how to equalize the air pressure to get objects to move through containers they otherwise would not have!

The crowd went wild over the flowing toilet paper!

  Here is the link to head over to Mad Science to get more information.  They are nationwide and host camps, after school programs, and events such at this.  You can also look for your local chapter Facebook page too!  My little blooming engineers LOVE everything science.  This was such a fun event for them :)  Thank you Nasa and Mad Science for these special events to bring the fun back into science!

 Here is a YouTube Link for their Special Events...but check out the other videos that are great (and safe) for your little ones to watch and do at home.  Mad Science Special Events
