Course Description

Neurodivergent Friendly! In this exciting one-day science lab, students will explore the surprising chemistry hidden inside an ordinary marshmallow. Through guided, hands-on experiments, we’ll investigate how marshmallows respond to heat, pressure, and changing conditions. Students will: - Discover that marshmallows are actually a type of foam. - Observe gas expansion during microwave experiments. - Test structural strength through compression challenges. - Explore density through sink-or-float testing. - Investigate physical and chemical changes through heating. - Compare texture and structure before and after experiments. This class emphasizes prediction, observation, and scientific reasoning. Students will think like investigators as we test the limits of this sweet, squishy structure.
