Explosive Fun for the Whole Family!

Join us in Chemistry for Kids, where professional chemists will be on hand to lead a drop-in program where families can learn about the exciting world of chemistry through hands-on experiments and demonstrations. From glorious goos to silly slimes and explosive powders, these are drop-in sessions you don’t want to miss!

Our program is designed for kids of all ages and skill levels, so whether your child is a budding scientist or simply curious about the world around them, they’ll have a blast exploring the fascinating properties of matter. Bring your family to the Putnam Museum and Science Center, where they can discover the magic of chemistry for themselves. We can’t wait to see you there!

This program is available on select Saturdays from 2pm-3pm during the school year.
