Xploration: Elephant's Toothpaste

Wednesday, February 153:00—4:00 PMProgram RoomHampstead Public Library9 Mary E. Clark Drive, Hampstead, NH, 03841

We are excited to welcome the Xploration program back to HPL for a new program!  This program is recommended for children in grades 1-7.  Kindergarten students may attend accompanied by an adult who can help them if needed.  Space is limited and sign-up is required.

Workshop Description:

Students first discuss what they know about chemical reactions. We then examine what Hydrogen

Peroxide is and compare it (H2O2) to water (H20). Now it is time to separate that extra oxygen molecule

by adding a catalyst. The extra oxygen is captured in soap suds which has a fun reaction and oozes out of

the bottle. Following their experiments, the instructor will take this experiment to the next level and

demonstrate the same procedure but with more powerful materials. It’s quite a show!

Registration for this event has now closed.
