Event Description

Get ready for a bubbly, colorful journey into the world of chemistry! In this program, young Girl Scout scientists will discover the exciting differences between acids and bases through hands-on experiments and playful activities.

Girl Scouts will explore how some everyday items-like lemon juice and baking soda-can fizz, change colors, and even create surprising reactions! Along the way, they'll learn how to safely test substances, understand what makes something an acid or a base, and see how chemistry is part of their everyday lives.

With lots of experimenting, observing, and asking "why?", this program encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love of science. Perfect for Girl Scouts who enjoy getting a little messy while making amazing discoveries!
