Program Description

Event Details

Do you enjoy science class? Do you enjoy hands-on activities? Explore how you can create various kinds of “weird” substances in this class. Come explore the eerier side of science that teachers don’t want you find out about.

January 16 - Lava Lamps. Commercial lava lamps take advantage of chemical properties like polarity and solubility to create the illusion of “lava” floating through a liquid. In this class, students will create a makeshift lava lamp to observe weird chemical properties in action.

Taught by a HiTech instructor. (S2)
