| Learn the science behind cosmetics and skin care products. Students will discuss the function of skin, examine the process and products used to create the lotions and potions they use on their body. They will measure, mix and mold soap and bath fizz while using proper laboratory skills and equipment. (Out programs require use of microwave and freezer.) |

| 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). |

| 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. |

| If you like getting your hands into gooey and slimy substances this is the chemistry class for you. Experience the magic of combining molecules to create new substances. Participants make glue using milk and other household materials. When they add additional substances to the glue, something totally different is created! All materials are included. |
