For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. . . . All things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:16–17)

While many things in life are unpredictable, God has created the chemical world in a very orderly way. Chemicals are all around us and inside of us. Just like anything, they can help us or harm us. These hands-on activities will teach you about how God has designed our world to allow us to make everything from plastic to perfume to paint.

Open to students ages 11 to 18.

Explore Chemistry is a 3-hour program scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The Explore Days program is on a four-year rotating schedule. Each Explore Day includes a minimum of three hands-on, interactive sessions. The yearly topics are provided in the schedule below.
