Description

The sensational science after-school program focuses on a variety of fun and educational activities. In this program, students will learn about the phases of the moon and conduct experiments to understand how the moon's appearance changes throughout the month.

Students will also have the opportunity to explore chemical reactions by conducting hands-on experiments. They will mix different substances together to observe how they react and learn about the role of chemical reactions in our everyday lives.

In another session, students will delve into the world of marine biology and learn what makes a fish a fish. They will study the anatomy and behavior of fish, as well as their unique adaptations for life underwater.

And finally, students will have a blast making their own slime. They will mix together common household ingredients to create stretchy, squishy slime while learning about polymers and the properties of different materials.

Overall, the sensational science after-school program offers a fun and engaging way for students to explore scientific concepts and develop their critical thinking skills.
