If you couldn’t make it to today’s S.T.E.M. Saturday with Mrs. Thressa, don’t worry we got you! 👩‍🔬🪥
This is our Dinosaur Toothpaste experiment we did today ! Combining Hydrogen Peroxide12%, Dish soap, Iodide, and Food Dye to cause a chemical reaction that created a frothy bubbly concoction sure to leave our prehistoric friends’ teeth squeaky clean and free of cavities whether carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore! 🦖
Thanks to the families who came out to our programming all summer long!

This was the last one for the summer but we’re prepping all the programming fun to pick up where we left off in September !
