🎃 FREE EVENT!
Put on your lab coat, grab your safety goggles, and get ready for a Halloween filled with science, experiments, and a little mad-scientist fun! 🧪⚡
Join us for Frankenstein's Lab, a special Halloween chemistry event where you can explore fascinating scientific concepts through hands-on activities, demonstrations, trivia, immersive films, and more.
Whether you're a budding scientist, a curious kid, or just looking for a fun way to celebrate Halloween, there's something for everyone to discover!
We're excited to welcome science and community partners from:
Take a trip beyond the laboratory with 360° immersive films playing throughout the day in the Koch Immersive Theater & Planetarium!
Think you know your science? Put your knowledge to the test!
Join us for Kahoot trivia throughout the event. Place in the Top 5 and you'll win a prize! 🏆
And don't worry—you don't need a PhD in chemistry to play. Everyone is eligible for every Kahoot game! See how your science knowledge stacks up against fellow Museum visitors.
What can chemistry teach us about ancient Egypt?
Get an up-close look at a real-life mummified cat from ancient Egypt and discover how chemicals can preserve organic matter. Learn how certain chemicals can slow the rate of decomposition and help preserve materials over time.
Prepare for a marshmallow that's out of this world!
Learn about atmospheric pressure as a jumbo marshmallow is placed inside a vacuum chamber. As the air is pumped out, watch the marshmallow expand toward its "true" state as the atmosphere's pressure is removed.
Solid, liquid, gas… and something called the triple point!
Explore the phases of matter, triple point diagrams, molecular bonds, and the science behind dry ice. Discover why dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) and see how changes in matter are connected to the molecules that make up our world.
Something spooky is brewing!
Discover how pressure controls the flow of a fluid with this fascinating demonstration. You might never look at a teapot the same way again!
Turn lemons into a science experiment!
Learn how batteries work and discover the roles that electrolytes and electrodes play in creating electricity. You may never look at your kitchen the same way again!
With hands-on activities, fascinating demonstrations, trivia, immersive films, special guests, and plenty of Halloween fun, Frankenstein's Lab is the perfect opportunity to explore the science behind some wonderfully spooky phenomena.
