Junior Alchemists is designed to not only pique an interest in scientific inquiry, but to introduce students to a deeper understanding of its development and application. We allow them to see the basic principles of science in the world around them. The course is focused on a number of experiments; they are tons of fun, visually appealing, and can safely be reproduced at home for friends and family.
Some of the experiments that are part of the course include:
- Create a lava lamp
- Turn sugar into a 2 foot black snake
- Synthesize colorful crystals from salt and sugar
Through these experiments, the instructor will teach the students about a number of scientific principles, including:
- Chemical reactions
- Capillary Action and Bernoulli's Principle
- Pressure
- Density, mass, volume
- Acids and bases
After each class, students will take home a specifically designed diploma, certifying them as an alchemical master!
