Get ready for a spooktacular science experience! In this event called Halloween Chemistry, students will explore the fun and fascinating side of chemistry through hands-on experiments with a Halloween twist. From bubbling reactions to colorful creations, participants will investigate chemical reactions, properties of matter, and more while having a frightfully good time. Come experiment, discover, and see what happens when science meets Halloween! 

This is a come and go when you like event for children in elementary and middle school.  Parents and caregivers are highly encouraged to attend with children, as the activities will require that directions be followed.
