Students will be the chemists in a weeklong camp full of fantastic experiments with elements that react with one another to fizz, sizzle, melt, change colors, turn into gases, and even burn with a spectacular color flame! They can create chemistry rockets, magnetic slime, and glowing crystal balls, test some polyurethane foam, play with disappearing dry ice bubbles and investigate their own unique reactions. This kid-safe introduction to chemistry will show students that when you explore the world of chemicals you discover the amazing building blocks of the world!
Notes:
Student must bring their own snacks, lunch, and beverages
