Labratz Science Club

Welcome to the Lab Ratz Science Club’s “Kitchen Chemistry” guide, providing you with all the information you need to convert your home kitchen into full-fledged laboratory!  Reproduce experiments from each week’s Lab Ratz Science Club meetings, change variables and compare results and find way to continue exploring topics at home.  Take the information and ideas found here, combine with one or more creative young minds, apply the scientific method and let the discoveries begin - Identify the species of bacteria growing on those leftovers in the fridge, figure out which common condiments are chemically unstable, determine the maximum velocity that the family dog can obtain at dinnertime, maybe even unlock the secrets of cold fusion!  The sky is truly the limit - And, maybe that is setting the bar too low.  Maybe sub-orbital space is the limit.  It’s up to you how far you can take it!
But, always remember, experiments are not edible, safety goggles are a must and while adult supervision is required, adult participation is encouraged!

Log in to Facebook and “Publish” the results of your experiments to our page so that they can be reviewed by your peers!  And, we are always happy to answer questions and to hear comments and suggestions so, if you just can’t get your handmade electric motor to spin or you have an experiment idea that you would like to share, just click the “Contact Us” button and let us know what’s on your mind!
