JUNE 2025

Sink or Float: Explore the physical properties of matter through a hands-on investigation of several liquids and solids! Create your own personal density column to take home!

When: June 13 at 11 am and 1 pm and from 3:30 to 4 pm

‍

Discovering D.N.A.: What are the building blocks of life? Put on your gloves and goggles to get the answer to this question. You will be rewarded with a firsthand look at an amazing chemical that makes all life possible.

When: June 20 from 11 am to noon & 1:30 to 2:30 pm

‍

Crazy Chromatography: In this colorful chemistry lab, kids will explore the science of chromatography by separating the hidden pigments in candy coatings and marker ink. Using simple materials like water and filter strips, students become color detectives as they reveal the components of familiar colors. It's a fun and hands-on way to learn about mixtures and how scientists separate them!

When: June 27 from 11 am to noon & 1:30 to 2:30 pm
