Mini Afterschool Science Series: Spring Sensory Lab (Ages 4–10) Featuring our favorite experiments from the Mini Scientists Afterschool Program during the week 6-Class Mini Science Series | Thursdays | 1 Hour Each Dates: April 18 – June 27, 2025 Hands-on science fun blooms this spring! Join our Mini Afterschool Science Series: Spring Sensory Lab , a playful introduction to real science concepts designed for curious young learners. In this engaging 6-class program, children explore the wonders of spring through hands-on experiments, sensory play, and early chemistry discoveries . Each session includes 2–3 themed experiments that introduce children to foundational science ideas such as reactions, mixtures, solutions, absorption, and observation . Students will also be introduced to a “Science Word of the Day,” where they practice fun vocabulary guessing and simple explanations—just like our Mini Scientists in the afterschool program! This series is a mini version of our afterschool science program , giving families a taste of our hands-on learning approach. 🔬 Class Schedule & Themes 🌱 April 18 – Growing & Glowing: Plants & Flowers Celebrate the arrival of spring with nature-inspired science and a touch of Disney magic.
