Chemistry Merit Badge PM (Ages 11 to 17)

Wacky experiments and chemical reactions await! In this hands-on class, you will learn to use chemicals safely, conduct flame tests to identify elements/metal ions, predict and demonstrate various chemical reactions and construct a Cartesian diver, describing its behavior in terms of how gases behave - and much more! Note: Be sure to bring on the first day of class - an empty 20 oz. water bottle for the Cartesian diver project AND an empty aluminum can (soda can etc - washed out please) for the "can crush experiment" exploring water vapor and differences in air pressure. Be prepared to have a blast!
This session runs from 1pm to 3:30pm on Saturdays, October 21st, 28th and November 4th.
Please remember to check the attachments for additional details before your class begins. BSA medical form AB is required and must be turned in at check-in.
