Mark
the date for Saturday, November 10th, from 11am-2pm. This is the
second part of a two part series on the “Kimball Science Fair”. We
have a day of science made possible by the Harvard Pilgrim Community Spirit
Mini Grant that we are really excited about.
“Mad Science” will host six different stations and give you a chance to
explore and discover some cool science concepts. This day is geared for elementary age
children through the teen years. Take a
look at each station below.
STATION
ONE: Amazing Air Pressure
Visitors will explore the power of air. Try to float a ball in the air with Bernoulli's demonstrator and try to rescue a submarine in the rescue diver bottles.

TWO: Cool Catapulting
The principles of energy and motion will be tested at this station. Visitors will experiment with our cool catapults while learning about potential and kinetic energy.

STATION
THREE: Plasma Ball
The
glow in one of our awesome plasma balls will help visitors explore electricity.
Conductors and insulators will be the focus of this station's experimenting.
STATION
FOUR: Pipettes & Penny Power
Visitors
will explore the “sticky” side of water. Using pipettes, children will test the
limits of cohesion while taking on the penny power challenge at this station.
Roll up those sleeves!
STATION
FIVE: Magnetic Magic
Magnetism is the star at this station. Visitors will try their hand at building a magnet bridge while learning about magnets and magnetic fields.

STATION
SIX: Van De Graaff Demonstrations
(Please check our schedule at the library for the exact times when the demos
are available.)
Enjoy a performance by static electricity at this station. Positive and negative charges will be at work while visitors witness a lightning show and learn about other fun effects of static electricity.

Besides
serving science, we’ll also be serving up refreshments and some take home
science projects while supplies last. Be
one of the first 100 youth to arrive and you’ll be sure to take home one of our
freebie items. Don’t miss out on this ‘mad
fun’ ‘mad science’ event!
Please
note that we will be closed on Monday, November 12th, observing
Veteran’s Day. Please stock up
accordingly.
