FEBRUARY'S FIRST SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE: Science of Sticky

Explore the Wagner's museum filled with 100,000 natural history specimens, including ancient fossils, glowing minerals and animals from around the globe.

Our theme this month is the chemistry of "sticky." Learn why things stick together through a variety of interactive chemistry activities. In the Lecture Hall, check out DIY glow-in-the-dark slime, shrinky dinks, glitter beads, and polymer clay sculptures to take home! Also find out what types of balls bounce the highest, and how stickiness actually helps us preserve the Wagner's historic building! Upstairs in the gallery, the Temple University Chemistry Society (chapter of ACS) will have more fun, interactive sticky activities such as testing tape stickiness, "gooey glue," and more!
