Mad Science
Is Your Child “Mad” About Science? Join for hands-on science fun!
We are excited to partner with Mad Science of the Capital District to offer the following outstanding and unique science programs! All programs are curriculum-correlated and meet S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) objectives. Professional equipment and materials will be used. All supplies are included. These programs will encourage team-building, as we work collaboratively to solve real-world S.T.E.M. problems!
Taste Buds
Learn about the biology behind your “buds”and take home your very own taste test kit! Children develop a taste for science! Children get hands-on with magnifiers, model tongues, and mirrors to see what their own tongues look like – and test the classic model of the “tongue map”. A quick tasting test sorts out which class members are supertasters. The instructor uses spoonfuls of sugar to show sugar content in popular children’s drinks. A nose-plugging experiment links taste and smell, and children scientifically sniff-out extracted scents.
Who: K-5
When: Wednesday, June 29, 10:00am-11:00am
Where: Queensbury WHBI school, classroom #121
- Resident cost: $15/class

Entertaining demonstrations show the magnet’s gravity-defying abilities and educate children about the Earth’s magnetic properties. Play with some of the wildest forces in the universe!
