STEM Experiments: Chromatography & Garden in a Glove, ages5-7 yrs CKICK-5040-TR03D
with Ashley Huels
Ages: 5 - 7
Did you ever wonder what makes markers different colors? In this experiment we will determine whether dyes are single substances or composed of multiple other dyes! Create a work of art that is yours to keep while capillary action and chromatography! The next expreiment in this class is a hands-on activity, where we will explore the stages of plant growth. Students will learn about basic plant biology and how growing conditions can impact seedling development. Using these principles, they will create their very own mini greenhouse environments! Space is limited, so register early!
Monarch Butterflies, ages 6-10 yrs CKICK-5084-TR01D
with Kaylen McDowell
Ages: 6 - 10
The monarch butterfly is one of nature’s most fascinating insects, known for its incredible life cycle and long-distance migration. Understanding the monarch’s life cycle and habitat helps us see how important it is to protect their environment, especially milkweed plants, so future generations can continue to enjoy these beautiful butterflies!
