Home Chemistry Lab: A STEAM Event
May 3 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm UTC-7
May 3, 2025 at the Orange Public Library and History Center. 3:00 to 4:30 We added an extra workshop on May 3rd and we still have some space left.
For Students in 6th – 12th grade
Get ready to explore the chemistry of everyday household items. In this STEAM event, we will discover the fascinating chemistry of everyday items found at home. From uncovering iron in breakfast cereal to creating invisible ink with lemon juice, we’ll investigate the science that powers everyday experiences. We’ll uncover the magic of sodium polyacrylate from diapers, create fizzy reactions with Alka-Seltzer, and more. These hands-on experiments are designed to spark curiosity and connect chemistry to the world around us.
