The Chemistry and Education departments of Trinity International University are pleased to be able to invite your student to participate in a unique laboratory program designed to help your son or daughter learn about God’s work through direct investigation and experimentation.Your student will learn about the connections between faith and science; learn about the how to keep a laboratory notebook; how to change the properties of soap; investigate the properties of polymers; work in a college chemistry laboratory to make cold cream, liquid hand soap, rubber bands, window cleaner and more.

If your student is currently in grades 9 through 12, has an interest in science, and can successfully follow both written and oral directions, this program is for him/her! We will be running five classes; meeting (May 24, 26, 28, and June 2, 4) from 1:15 to 4:30 p.m. in Trinity’s chemistry laboratory. The cost for the program is $120, which is all-inclusive (There is an additional charge for any breakage).

A staff of experienced instructors will provide close supervision. Instructors will emphasize laboratory safety while communicating fundamental concepts in Chemistry and encouraging students to use their reasoning skills.

If your son or daughter is interested in participating in this program, we need to hear from you now! Space is limited! We need to know of your interest by April 15 in order to provide adequate staffing and materials. Additionally, any student who registers and pays in full by April 15 will receive a $10 discount for early payment!
