Weird Science
In this class, girls become clever science sleuths, exploring phenomena and everyday scents through fun, surprising experiments. Our goal is for girls to experiment in science creatively and freely, without worrying about a right answer. This theme is for girls who to love to explore and investigate! Our instructors will put your daughter’s try-it-out skills to the test. We make our laboratory indoors, investigating electricity, biology, chemistry, light, sound, energy, and more. The semester will be filled with experiments of all kinds–girls might make slime, make something that glows, explore the physics of baking, learn about elements and the Periodic Table, or discover how sound and electricity are conducted!
Spa Science Mix it, make it, try it out and take it home! Girls get busy making Fizzy Bath Bombs, Sweet Lip Smackers, Shake ‘Em Up Bath Salts, Yummy Face Masks and more. They’ll become clever spa scientists for the week as they learn about ingredients and how to combine them to make fun (and fabulous!) pampering goodies. They also get busy playing around with packaging and naming their concoctions in this spa-chemistry exploration — the end of the session is “Spa Day,” where girls sample and share what they have made!

Spy Science
A super-popular theme! Girls learn the science behind everything SPY in a clever mix of chemistry, physics and biology. Their activities include making footprint molds and matching the tread, dusting for fingerprints, extracting DNA and writing in invisible ink. They build spy periscopes and intruder alarms; they mix their own invisible ink and create and crack secret codes. They combine plenty of lab experiments with a bit of detective discovery. This is a perfect fit for super spies and scientists alike!
Kitchen Chemistry
Added in response to feedback from the girls, many of whom have asked for a cooking-themed class! This theme focuses on the science behind cooking and baking. Girls mix, measure and experiment to create snacks, sauces and more, using kitchen tools as science tools. They explore hot and cold, liquids and solids and super-saturation. They learn what happens when combining wet and dry ingredients and the chemistry behind heating and chilling. Possible edible projects: a rainbow density column and rock candy crystals. Equal parts physics, recipe experimentation, fun!
