Newtown Public Library is excited to partner with The Franklin Institute to present GSK Science in the Summer!
This FREE 2-day program is for children entering grades 2–6 in September 2026.
Registration is required. Please register each child individually. One registration covers both sessions: August 4 & 5. Participants must attend both days.
Children who attend both days will receive a complimentary ticket to The Franklin Institute.
This summer: Be A Chemist!
The Be a Chemist! program invites children to take the role of scientists and engineers as they investigate how chemistry creates the materials of everyday life. The activities encourage scientific practices like making observations and testing hypotheses while exploring the following questions:
What chemicals make up the materials in the world around us?
How are substances alike or different?
How do substances interact and change when they are mixed together?
Each activity highlights a STEM career and allows children to investigate, use scientific tools, gather information, and aims to increase their interest in STEM careers and their confidence in doing science.
Activities will explore the following STEM careers:
Cosmetic Chemist
Forensic Chemist
Materials Chemist
Medicinal Chemist
Water Chemist
