Science for Kids (Elementary School)

Science for kids is our program for elementary school kids. It was first organized as part of the program of Young Scientists/Engineer Academy, but it has been also coordinated for local daycare and elementary school (K-3). Kids learned how the molecules are built, what are the gases around us such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and had fun to experiment with the gas properties testing expansion of CO2 from the solid state to the gas state. Burning in the oxygen and saw the explosion of a hydrogen balloon.
