THE EVENT - Mad Scients on Call!!!!!!!

Lily and the Worms

A big Thank You goes out to all our teen volunteers and all the children who participated!!

So, here we are right before the children attended the science program!  We were so happy that they enjoyed the experiments! 
In case you're wondering, we did an Artbot; made a battery turn into a magnet; made a compass that worked; made a throwie (bet you don't know what that is!); blew up balloons without blowing them up; magically cleaned pennies, and levitated a ghost!

In the animal kingdoms, we adopted twelve worms of the night crawler variety.  They were quite behaved during the morning session, however, they actually tried to escape by the afternoon!!!  They were very happy when we returned them to the soil outside!  We respectfully experimented with the worms to see how they reacted when under lights - mostly they wanted to hide!!  Then we tried to learn what type of smells they like or disliked.  They hated the raisins! 

Then we had a Harry Potter potion section with Mandrakes' Restorative Solution; some Harry Potter Magic in a cup; Magic Unicorn Milk, Liquid Enemies (a density experiment); Magic Mud; and Muggle Soap! 

Give the library a call if you want to know how we did these!  Meanwhile, enjoy the photos!!!
