Crazy Chemistry

Playing with Polymers

Investigate the ingredients of the Universe, build your own molecules, play alchemist by turning a nickel into gold (well, almost), learn the properties of polymers, how they are made, watch some magic muffins appear before your very own eyes without the aid of an oven, make your own silly putty and slime with our own Mad Science formula.

Down to Earth

Get the nitty gritty on rocks and minerals. Kids will re-create the process of rock formation and devise ways to identify and classify rocks and minerals. Investigate the habits, needs and characteristics of dinosaurs. Top this off with dinosaurs; look at herbivores and carnivores, become a paleontologist, and make a dinosaur tooth to take home!

Fun-damentals
