☀️ Trivia Tuesday: Did you know sunshine can boost your mood?

During the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—we soak up more sunlight, and that extra sunshine helps our brains produce more serotonin, a chemical that makes us feel happier and more energized!

At Mad Science, we love using moments like this to show kids how science connects to their everyday lives. From learning about the sun’s energy to building solar-powered gadgets, science is everywhere—and it’s pretty cool.

💬 Tell us: What’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day?

Thanks to all the curious little scientists who make every day an adventure!
