Event Description

This class is for 7-8 year olds only. Please ensure they can handle a classroom setting. 

A hands‑on science workshop where kids explore everyday phenomena through fun experiments—from creating “lava lamps” that illustrate density to building bridges with popsicle sticks. Each activity blends curiosity‑driven discovery with simple, safe materials, giving children a taste of chemistry, physics, biology, and culinary science.

Topics Covered
1. Density: making non-electrical lava lamps: Children will learn a bit about what density is, and make a simple “lava lamp” (children will need to bring a 1 liter plastic bottle-label removed)
2. How Sugar Makes Stars: Can sugar make a star? It can if you know how! Kids will learn about how solutions, crystals and set up to make sugar stars
3. Owl Pellets: Winter is when owls are active, calling and mating. Kids will get to look at what owl eat by examining a pellet.
4. Snow Science: learn a bit about the science of snow (and ice)
5. Bridge the Gap: using just their creativity, kids will figure out the strongest way to make a bridge from popsicle sticks
6. Simple Molecular Gastronomy: cooking is more than recipes! In this class, kids will make a simple edible project, learning the science behind the experience.
