Grades 1-4: Students engage in an introductory chemistry experience and make silly putty.
Featured:
Students get their hands deep into science when they combine two
liquid substances and create their own silly putty. Participants are
encouraged to get a little messy and to think about the different ways
they can work to change the substances. There are always lots of smiles
and giggles during this experience.

Connections:
Learners make estimates, measure and pour ingredients and observe
and consider the structure and properties of matter. They plan and
carry out the steps necessary to experience a chemical reaction in their
own hands. (NGSS PS1A and PS1B)
Notes :
In this program students are encouraged to conduct the experiments for themselves with limited assistance from chaperones.
This program is frequently combined our tour program during a SEE field trip visit.
If you have less than 15 students, you can pay the equivalent minimum charge for the program.
