Program Description

Event Details

Let’s experiment! Collaboratively explore the scientific method as you experiment with air pressure and molecules to create massive marshmallows, bursting balloons, and exploding foam. Students will then work in small groups to conduct their own bell jar experiments. 

This program will be presented by educators from the Children's Museum & Theater of Maine. Space is limited to just 25 children and registration is recommended. The recommended age range for The Magnificent Marshmallow Experiment is 5-8 years.
