McMaster Engineering GO ENG Bath Bombs Workshop

Students will aim to gain a deeper knowledge of compounds, acids and bases through this chemistry lab and the creation of bath bombs. This project not only introduces students to the science behind skincare but also connects them with the rich tradition of DIY beauty practices. Students will work in groups of 3 but individuals will be able to make their own bath bomb and take it home! 

• Ages: Gr. 6 - Gr. 8
• Cost: $10.00
• Time: 10:00am -11:30am

McMaster Engineering GO ENG Soft Matter Physics Workshop

Discover soft matter physics! This workshop offers hands-on activities where students explore key physics concepts while making slime, bouncy balls, and toothpaste. At Station 1, students dive into polymer science by creating slime. They'll see how changing ingredient ratios affects slime's thickness (viscosity) and learn about its stretchy (elastic) properties. They'll also find out that slime behaves differently from water—it's a non-Newtonian fluid! Station 2 turns students into material scientists as they design bouncy balls. They'll learn how material structure affects bounce (elasticity) and discover the science behind how energy is stored and released during bouncing. In Station 3, students become materials engineers by formulating their own toothpaste. They'll see how adding ingredients changes toothpaste thickness and learn about its response to squeezing and spreading. 

• Ages: Gr. 9 - Gr. 12
• Cost: $10.00
• Time: 12:30-2:00pm
