The Foam Gnome

Barnett Elementary 5th grade students were mesmerized as a ‘Foam Gnome’ grew out of the cup in front of them. In a presentation put on by the Discovery Gateway Museum the students saw first hand many chemical and physical changes. They learned about the three states of matter and were able to enjoy a ‘hands on lab’ creating their own physical and chemical reactions. The students enjoyed the afternoon and left the lab with a great understanding of chemistry thanks to the informative and engaging presentation!
