The next Mad Scientist course starts April 8th 2011. The order of the topics may still change before that date. Welcome to the web site created especially for you:
a Leal School Mad Scientist. I hope this site will help you explain all the cool
experiments that you did in class to your family and friends. Also, feel free to send us comments on how I can improve the class or this website (wham2004-at-gmail.com). Just a reminder: during the class please use care. Do not shake, taste, or throw anything. But do take notes, ask questions, learn and have fun! That is a Leal Mad Scientist's Scientific Method. I appreciate your enthusiasm - and I am happy for the opportunity to help educate future scientists. Marianne (A word of advice: Do not "read ahead". Only open the web pages for the experiments that you have already done, that will keep things surprising and exciting when you come to class.) Week 1: Foaming, Fizzing and Oozing Additional Experiments |
