"I am a Scientist" Youth Program at La Salle Public Library

On Saturday, January 26th, at 2:00 p.m., the Library will host "Spa Science."  Think all those bubbles and fizz are just silly extras in the bath?  How about lotions and soaps-how do they work and why?   All of these everyday products are real science!  Who knew that the bathroom could be a cool science lab?  

In this program, participants will explore how simple chemicals combine to produce something altogether new and useful.   Children will discover acid-base reactions and miscibility and will formulate skin lotions, soaps, bath bombs, and lip balm, all to take home. 

"I am a Scientist! - Spa Science" is free, open to the public, but requires registration, and is limited to 20 children, ages 4 and up, with a parent or an adult caregiver.   This approximately hour-long program is designed to provide children with fun hands-on science learning that gives children confidence to explore and discover.  Children under the age of 8 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult.   

For more information or to register, please call the Library at 815-223-2341.
