Themes Explored:
• What chemistry is, specifically the states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases)
• Chemical reactions and how chemicals can combine to make something new
• How chemistry is used in our daily lives, from cooking to artmaking to toys
• The scientific process—asking questions, making predictions, conducting experiments, observing and comparing results, and developing conclusions
Camp Activities Include:
• Conducting experiments that cause both immediate reactions and slower changes
• Mixing up different kinds of slime, from oobleck to fluff
• Creating process artworks exploring color changes, fizzing paint, and DIY dough
• Exploring how chemistry is used to make everyday items like bubbles, bouncy balls, and even bioplastic
Highlights:
• Opportunities to see big chemical demonstrations at Discovery Place’s Science at the Stage shows
• Taking home the results of experiments that highlight the power and application of chemistry
• Visiting Discovery Place’s labs and exhibitions to learn how scientists use chemistry in medicine, marine biology, and more
