Course Description:

Students perform a series of six hands-on labs designed to get them thinking on the molecular scale. We will make ice cream, investigate local air quality data, and explore the cyanotype printing process. Students will learn to make hypotheses, keep a neat and detailed laboratory notebook, and analyze the results of experiments. We will tackle some challenging concepts and calculations together, all while creating tasty/pretty things and having a good time!
