Get ready for a frosty science experiment! Create a foamy Polar Bear Toothpaste eruption and discover the chemistry behind this exciting winter twist on Elephant Toothpaste.

Science is getting a frosty makeover during Tween Tuesday: Polar Bear Toothpaste! Tweens will participate in a winter-themed version of the classic Elephant Toothpaste experiment and watch as a chemical reaction creates a giant burst of fluffy, foam-like “polar bear toothpaste.” Participants will make observations and explore the science behind the reaction, including chemical reactions, catalysts, and exothermic reactions. It’s a messy, exciting way to combine winter fun with hands-on STEAM learning!
