Description

At Mad Science of Houston, we transform natural curiosity into a lifelong habit of exploration. During the "Golden Decade of Learning" (ages 3–12), we empower children to become self-propelled learners who seek answers independently.
Our TEKS-aligned curriculum supports STAAR readiness by replacing traditional lectures with 4–8 high-energy, hands-on experiments per session. We offer up to 16 rotating topics each semester, allowing students to enjoy two full years of discovery without repetition.
Students don’t just watch; they master complex concepts in chemistry, physics, and engineering through immersive activities like launching rockets or mixing polymers. By rewarding inquiry and treating mistakes as vital discoveries, we build the confidence needed for a lifetime of achievement. Plus, every class includes a themed take-home project, ensuring the spark of discovery follows them home!
See below for additional class descriptions. Please note that topics may be taught in a different order.
