We
take the hands-on experience to new heights as students measure, mix, and mold
their own modern-age materials. Along the way, they'll learn about molecules,
state change and the nature of chemical reactions.
Hands-on
Workshops
Silly
Slime (2nd to 5th) : In this hands-on workshop, each student is given the
tools and materials required to create their own modern-age polymer material.
We begin this program with a short introduction to the history of this material
and its uses in modern society. We examine the properties of the initial ingredients
and proceed step by step in creating our new material through chemical reaction.
Magic
Potions (2nd to 5th) : Students will have a great time experimenting with
a variety of wizardly potions while at the same time learning about the nature
of acids and bases. A great tie-in to Harry Potter and other magic-oriented themes!
Chemistry workshops are preferrably done in a non-carpeted
room with one 5 to 6 foot table set up for each 5 to 6 students. An additional
5 to 6 foot table will be needed for the instructor. Access to a sink is required.
30 minutes of setup time will be needed. Parking with adjacent access to workshop
areas is highly appreciated!
Material Fees
Please note
that this workshop has a $0.35 materials fee per student in addition to standard
