KinderScience is offered each Friday (exceptions apply; see Events Calendar for details) at 10am at Pow!Science! The program is offered for pre-K children ages 2.5 to 5, but parents, as the undisputed best judges regarding what their child is capable of, should be the final decision-makers when considering your child's readiness for KinderScience.
Here are some guidelines to consider when deciding whether or not to participate in KinderScience:
•Children should be able to sit, listen and (potentially) talk for periods of up to ten minutes. Most sessions of KinderScience start seated on the rug, with a bit of a demonstration, a story, or other primarily verbal form of readying participants for the activities to come.
•Basic skills such as gripping a spoon, picking up and pouring cups of water or other harmless chemicals (when directed/helped to do so), coloring etc. should be in place as they may be required to complete a given day's activities. That said, we wholeheartedly encourage parental assistance to perform some of these tasks. Which leads us to our final recommendation:
• If your child is on the lower end of the age recommendation for KinderScience, it's important to keep in mind that this is certainly not a "drop and go" or even "drop and watch" type of program. Children may be able to complete the experiments and activities without adult help, but this is not the expectation; rather it is the exception. Come to KinderScience planning to work with your child and have fun with Science!
There is always an instructor present of course, but the true spirit and intention of KinderScience is to facilitate parents and children working together as your little one takes their first steps into the exciting world of science.

Science Mad Libs by Pow!Science & our FB Fans!!
The Law we're Lampooning:
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion:
The Elementary Version of the Actual Law:
"For every Action, there is an Equal but Opposite Reaction."
A Better Way to State this Law:
"Forces always occur in pairs. If an object exerts a force on another object,
then the second object exerts a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction on the first object."
What it Means:
Your butt pushes down on the chair with the same force as the chair pushes up on your butt.
How We Massacred it with our Science Mad Lib!
"For every Platypus, there is a Magnificent but Pungent Shmorgasbord!"
Thanks for playing!
