WEEK 3: Mon-THUR, June 29-July 2 (4-day), PM 12:00-3:00
(Note: short week ends Thursday.)
CHEMISTRY OF FIREWORKS WEEK: Explore the science of pyrotechnics and the spectra of the elements! Capture some photons and examine the nature of color, wave energy, and particle physics. We will heat up various chemicals from the Periodic Table of the Elements and observe them through spectroscopes to see why they glow in different colors. Learn how the electrons in the elements determine the colors as they make quantum leaps between their atomic orbitals. Watch a video about the pyrotechnics of professional fire works displays. Enjoy the July 4th shows.
