Mad Science Fire and Ice Show Assembly- Wednesday, January 15th
Mad Science Fire and Ice Show Assembly
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming school assembly next Wednesday, January 15th featuring the Mad Science Fire and Ice Show! This interactive, high-energy performance is sure to ignite curiosity and leave our students amazed. Through exciting experiments, the show will demonstrate the wonders of chemistry, including fiery reactions, icy surprises, and bursts of laughter—all aligned with the mission to spark imaginative learning and inspire a lifelong love of science.
Mission of Mad Science:
Mad Science is dedicated to delivering unique, hands-on science experiences that encourage problem-solving, imagination, and curiosity. They strive to inspire children to see science as accessible, exciting, and fun.
This assembly is part of our continued effort to provide engaging, educational experiences that complement classroom learning and foster a love for discovery.
After the assembly, we encourage you to ask your child about their favorite moments! Here are two fun conversation starters:
- What was your favorite magic act?
- What surprised you the most during the Fire and Ice show? Did the experiment turn out the way you thought it would?"
We can’t wait to hear about all the excitement! Thank you for your support in making these memorable events possible.
*Information prepared by the Lin Howe PTA Equity Committee. Email linhoweequity@gmail.com to get involved.
