Course Description
Unleash your inner scientist! Research and create your own formula for slime and plastics using the scientific method. Experience the energy of reactions firsthand with steel wool combustion, sugar smoke bombs, and bottle rockets. Analyze reaction rates with foil in acid, master titration using cabbage as a pH indicator. This camp is an adventure into the practical and exciting applications of chemistry!
