The tall woman in a white lab coat prepares her apparatus as we approach her. Because she’s in character, she states, “My name is Madam Chaos. You may call me either.”

Ms. Chaos explains why she’s at Midland Library, saying, “It gets kids very excited about science. After our session, kids run to find and check out all the science books they can find.”

Asked about today’s class, Chaos, who confides she has been with Mad Science¬Æ for three years, tells us, “We are focusing primarily on chemical reactions today. Oh yes, and fun!”

Madam Chaos helps a budding scientist learn about centripetal force, during her interactive course.
