Welcome to our Chemistry Class!
Your kids will do a number of ultra-cool experiments including:
- Make a Chemical Rainbow (like in the picture)
- Creating glowing silly putty
- Growing dinosaur toothpaste
- Making liquid freeze by actually heating it up!
Plus, they will learn about the 5 states of matter (the first 3 are solid, liquid and gas). Plus discover supercooling, chemical kinetics, phase shifts, atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, and much more!
Material List for Experiments
• Aluminum pie plate
• Bowl
• Clear glue or white glue
• Disposable cups
• Goggles & gloves
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Liquid soap
• Popsicle sticks
• Scissors or pliers
• Sodium tetraborate (also called “Borax”)
• Water bottle
• Yeast
• Yellow highlighter
We will be doing experiments during class. If you do not have materials, you can still fully participate (have on hand a pencil and paper). See you in class!
During class, you can either fill out the worksheet, OR if that’s too stressful or a hassle, just set it aside and fill it out after class is over so you can enjoy watching the class.
Answer key is on the last page, so put it in a place where you won’t be tempted to peek at the answers until after you’ve given it your best shot.
