STEM at the Library: Colorful Science

Presented by Science Connections

Join us as we explore colorful chemistry with hands-on activities and experiments. Space is limited. Register here!

What makes different colors? How do our eyes see color? Can we use science to make art? The answer to the last question is YES! Join Michelle Bertke of Science Connections to explore colorful chemistry as we mix colors, separate colors, and experiment with color change liquids. Along the way learn about different molecules and how they interact. We will provide all of the materials for this program.

For 5 year olds and up.

Space is limited. Register here!

Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Chevy Chase Library.

Location: Chevy Chase Library Meeting Room (lower level)
