👻🧪 That’s a wrap on 4-H After Darke: Spooky Science! 🧪🎃

Our Cloverbuds had a spooktacular time exploring science through creepy experiments, colorful creations, and a little Halloween magic! From making slime to creating lava lamps and watching baking soda and vinegar react, our young scientists got hands-on and discovered that science can be seriously spooky! 🧫🧙‍♀️

We love seeing our 4-H’ers learn, experiment, ask questions, and have fun along the way! A big thank-you to everyone who joined us for an evening of spooky science! 🖤💚

Stay tuned for our next 4-H Seasonal Science adventure! 🍂🔬
