Stem Project (Grades 3 & up): Hot Chocolate Science
2025-12-30 15:45 - 16:45
Warm up with a little winter science! During Hot Chocolate Science, kids will explore how temperature affects the rate at which hot chocolate dissolves. Using simple materials (and real cocoa!), we’ll run an easy experiment that teaches the scientific method in a fun, tasty way.
Who wouldn’t love a science lesson that ends with a cozy cup of hot chocolate? Come learn, discover, and sip!
