Program Description

SUMMARY:
Children will get stuck on science in this one-hour class on sticky stuff! The class begins with a close-up examination of how Velcro hook- and-loop fasteners work. This is followed by a hands-on experiment with different types of tape adhesives. Wet glues are introduced in two inquiry-based experiments. Children learn how to perform a ranking test, and determine the optimal glue to use on various materials. A hands-on activity using scientific labware and everyday items introduce the concepts of suction, hydrogen bonding, and static cling. The children assemble their Take-Home Professor Beakerdude kit, a set of reusable adhesives and a beaker that they can use to perform experiments.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
Students will be given the opportunity to perform inquiry-based experiments to test the properties of adhesive objects. They will develop an understanding of the science of sticky elements and practice hands- on activities to explore the nature of natural and synthetic adhesive materials.
