Are you interested in learning about "substances" and "chemical reactions." Students will see that chemical reactions enable us to make new materials by transforming the ones we have. The results of these reactions are interesting and can be very useful. Students will determine whether magic potions are real and explore whether a person can transform something worthless into gold. Students will also determine what rubber, fireworks, and silly putty have in common and why some things explode.(Ryan) Registration Deadline A $25 late registration fee will be charged if you register less than one week before the program’s start date.
