STEM – Ms. B's MAD LAB: Fizzy Science with Everyday Magic

Welcome to Ms. B’s Mad Lab, where curiosity bubbles over and science fizzes to life! In this hands-on, high-energy course, young scientists will explore the wonders of chemistry using the scientific method to guide their wild investigations. This session transforms ordinary household items—like baking soda, vinegar, milk, soap, and food coloring—into spectacular experiments that pop, fizz, foam, and surprise. Perfect for curious minds ages 6–12 who love to mix, stir, and experiment. No prior science knowledge needed—just a sense of wonder and a willingness to get a little messy!

Includes all supplies, ingredients and a snack!
