Boom Club Wednesdays, 4:00–5:30 PM | High Five Books | Ages 6–9 (Ages 10+ as CITs) | September 9, 16, 30, October 7, 21, 28, November 4, 18

Warning: things are about to get loud. 💥

Boom Club is an 8-session afterschool science club where kids explore the thrilling, surprising, and completely fire-free science of explosions — from fizzing firework jars and erupting volcanoes to flower pods that burst open and chemical reactions that go BOOM in the most spectacular, safe, and satisfying ways imaginable.

This is not your average science club. This is hands-on, teacher-led, certified-instructor chemistry where kids discover the real science behind the bang — and walk away understanding why things explode, how fireworks get their colors, and what makes a reaction go from fizz to BOOM. 🔬

Every session, young scientists record their observations, predictions, and discoveries in their official Boom Club Lab Notebook — building a complete record of eight weeks of spectacular science. 📓

Along the way, Boom Club scientists will discover:

• The chemistry of reactions — acids, bases, gases, and what makes things fizz, pop, and explode
• The physics of pressure, sound waves, and kinetic energy
• The geology of volcanoes and meteor impacts
• The biology of explosive seed dispersal in nature
• The real science behind fireworks and what gives them their color
• How to make a hypothesis, test it safely, and record their results like real scientists 💛

This club is perfect for curious kids who love science, can’t resist a good fizz, and have always wanted to know what makes things go BOOM. Safely. Fire-free. Absolutely spectacularly. 💥

Boom Club meets Wednesdays from 4:00–5:30 PM at High Five Books. Ages 6–9. Ages 10 and up are invited to join as Counselors-in-Training. This club is 8 weeks long, as it doesn’t meet on days that NPS has off of school/holidays.
