| Students learn about the chemistry of personal care products while creating lip balms and lotions. Measurements, pH and laboratory skills are emphasized in this absorbing class. |
| MAD SCIENTIST (States of Matter) |
| 1st - 6th |
Science Center Visit:
(2 hrs) $9 per student
Max: 50 students |
Visit Your Site: (1 1/2 hr)
$300 must also provide
Ice and Milk |
| Explore the states of matter in a creative lab setting. Presentation allows students to differentiate between solids, liquids and gases. Children make polymer " Phlubber" and start a crystal garden to take home. Experimentation culminates in the production of a particularly tasty crystallized concoction, better known as ice cream. (At your site Crystal gardens are demo garden for classroom only). |
| CHEMISTRY DETECTIVE |

$225 Single Presentation
Max: 25 students |
| Students perform qualitative tests on common house-hold powders, and on a "mystery" powder. They use analytical thinking and deductive reasoning to solve the identity of the unknown substance. Concrete ideas about atoms and molecules are formulated as students participate in this challenging program. |
