2025-2026 School Year Enrichment

STEM in a Bottle: Science Fun for Curious Minds
In this exciting hands-on enrichment course, elementary students will explore science, technology, engineering, and math through creative experiments—all inside a bottle! Each week, students will make a new project that they can take home to observe, explore, and enjoy. This class sparks curiosity, builds problem-solving skills, and shows that STEM can be fun, colorful, and interactive.

Sample Projects Include:

  • Lava Lamp Bottle – Discover density and chemical reactions while creating a bubbling, glowing lava lamp effect.
  • Ocean in a Bottle – Explore layers of liquids and motion by building a mini ocean scene complete with “waves.”
  • Tornado Twister Bottle – Engineer a swirling vortex to learn about force and motion.
  • Rainbow Layers Bottle – Investigate density by stacking liquids of different weights to create a floating rainbow.
  • Glitter Galaxy Bottle – Make a calming galaxy-in-a-bottle while exploring space, stars, and light.
  • Ecosystem in a Bottle – Create a simple terrarium or water cycle model to observe life and environmental science.

By the end of the course, students will have a collection of science bottles that showcase the magic of STEM and their own creativity!
