Mentos and soda- ever wondered why they erupt? In this class, we will do our own reactions to learn why. We will explore properties and soda and mentos, including surface tension and acidity. You will do all your experiments in groups, so come ready to be a team player and to learn a bit about the science of explosions.

Nanoscience is the science of really really small things, the size of which is about a millionth of a pencil tip. In this class, we are going to learn what it is that makes this size so special. Then we are going to make nanoparticles of gold and "see" them using a laser pointer. Next, who doesn’t like space? Wouldn’t it be cool if we didn’t have to be on a rocket? If we could just get onto an elevator and go all the way up to space? Can we make cyborg tissues and make Star Trek science fiction a reality? You all know that a lot of people get heart attacks and their hearts get damaged after that. We are not like starfish. You can’t just regrow a heart. So is it possible to regenerate the human heart? Can any of these problems be solved by nanotechnology? You’ll find out!
