Embark on a deliciously fun journey into the world of chocolate with a class that integrates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) principles into hands-on chocolate-themed activities. We’ll explore the science of melting and solidifying chocolate with solar oven s’mores, experiment with temperature changes by making hot chocolate, and uncover the chemistry behind chocolate slime and play dough. Plus, we’ll indulge in a sensory exploration through taste tests and even design our own chocolate bar with a personalized wrapper!

1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Beyond Cat in the Hat!

Class 1103 (Kennedy Pacey)

There is much more to Dr. Seuss than Cat in the Hat! Get excited about Oh, the Places You’ll Go when we construct parachutes and mazes. Ask yourself, If I Ran the Zoo, what would your animals look like? With Hop on Pop, we will experiment with rhyme and how you can make a bouncy ball bouncy. Of course, we need to create Oobleck and maybe some other slimy solutions to make Bartholomew proud. Put your red and white striped hats on and, together, we will create, read, perform, draw, and experiment with all things Seuss.
