Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a tasty twist on science! In this interactive STEAM Lab, kids will use iodine to test a variety of foods, from apples to rice, to discover which ones are packed with starch. Participants will make predictions, drop iodine onto food samples, and observe dramatic color changes as science reveals what’s hiding in their snacks.

Along the way, we’ll explore why plants store starch, the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates, and how scientists use chemical indicators to solve everyday mysteries in biology and food science.

This STEAM Lab is designed for kids in grades 2–5 and promotes hands-on discovery, critical thinking, and scientific fun. Register online, at the Youth Desk, or call 928.777.1537.

Prescott Public Library and Yavapai Exploration and Science are teaming up to offer school-age children a chance to experience STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through interactive and engaging activities. Presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
