Class Overview:
Get ready to mix, fizz, bubble, and explore! In this exciting, hands-on chemistry class, students will discover the building blocks of the world around them. Over 36 weeks, young scientists will investigate matter, atoms, states of matter, and simple chemical reactions through engaging experiments and interactive activities. Designed specifically for 3rd–5th graders, this class makes big scientific ideas approachable, fun, and memorable while encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of discovery.
Meeting once a week, students will learn by doing—conducting safe experiments, making predictions, and observing real chemical changes in action. From creating colorful reactions to exploring mixtures and solutions, each class builds foundational chemistry knowledge in a way that feels like play. By the end of the year, students will have a strong introduction to chemistry concepts and the confidence to think like scientists.
