9.9.10- Make Your Own Bubblegum (4 p.m.)
Bubblegum is easy to make, but unfortunately you won't find its ingredients in your kitchen! Gum base usually comes from the sap of a tree found in Central American rainforests. Not to worry - all the wacky materials you need to make a wad of tasty, chewy gum will be provided during this after school workshop. Since this program will involve using microwaves and pouring hot liquids, parental supervision is required. After we're done mixing and making a sticky mess, we'll taste test the finished product and see how our DIY gum stacks up to the stuff found in stores! Pre-registration is required for this program. Open to first through fifth graders.
