Auburn Village Gift of Science (Middle School)

Gifts Series

This winter, science turns into something you can wrap up and share! In our Gifts Series, students will explore the chemistry, physics, and creativity behind handmade items they can proudly give to family and friends. Each week features a new project that blends scientific discovery with the joy of making, from sparkling borax crystals to fizzy bath creations. Students don’t just craft—they learn the science behind each material, reaction, and process while building skills that last long beyond the holiday season.
