Winter Chemists: Family Event

About this event

Why does salt melt ice? How do snowflakes grow? Why do hand warmers get hot? Become a winter chemist as you investigate the fascinating chemistry behind snow, ice, temperature, and everyday winter materials through hands-on experiments and engineering challenges.

Participants will:

• Investigate chemical and physical changes.

• Explore freezing point depression and crystallization.

• Observe endothermic and exothermic reactions.
