  Get ready to dive into the wild world of science! In this class, you won't just be sitting at your desk taking notes. We're going to get up close and hands-on with all kinds of crazy experiments and activities. 
   

  Brace yourself as we dissect slimy frog guts and extract DNA from strawberries. Things are about to get messy! You'll be mixing up chemical concoctions that fizzle, foam and explode all over the place. Just make sure your lab coat and goggles are on.  
  
  

  We'll also be getting physics-y by building contraptions and devices put to the test. Like dropping eggs from the school roof to see if you can keep them from cracking. Or constructing a volcano that actually erupts with real lava (okay, baking soda and vinegar but still epic!).  
  
  

  Biology, chemistry, physics - we'll dabble in all the major science areas. Get ready to engineer, construct and dismantle stuff in the name of SCIENCE! This class is gonna be a blast - literally in some cases. So leave your textbooks at home and prepare for some seriously hands-on science fun. Let's DO this!
