We've got Chemistry!

It's Just a Phase!

When an ice cube melts or we boil water to make steam, what's happening? It's still all water, but how can it look so different? Come investigate what really happens when a chemical changes phases. We will conduct experiments with solids, liquids, and gasses.

Inside-Out Chemistry
Inside our bodies, there are millions of chemicals doing many different jobs like digesting food, transmitting messages to your brain, and helping you move your muscles. But some chemicals can hurt us if they get in our bodies. Can you think of any? Come and play some fun chemistry games today!
