Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science” because it touches on so many other scientific disciplines. From a single atom to the entire cosmos, everything is made of chemicals – you included!

In “Discovering Chemistry” you will get to:
• synthesize pleasant-smelling molecules from simple materials
• see chemistry happen with electricity, light, and heat
• see and learn how things can burn both fast and slow
• touch base with acids
• have fun with polymers
• experience how chemistry on Earth helps us study the chemistry of stars and space
• solve real-world problems with scientific instruments
• tour working chemistry labs and meet researchers
• find out (and experience for yourself!) how chemistry makes ice cream better
...and much more!
