Underwater Fireworks at the STEAM Lab

Dive into a dazzling display with “Underwater Fireworks” at the STEAM Lab in Discovery Gateway! Kids will explore the science of density and chemical reactions as they create vibrant, underwater “fireworks” in a jar. It’s a fun, hands-on experiment that makes learning pop! Perfect for curious young scientists ready to explore the wonders of chemistry.

Discovery Gateway’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) lab offers a wide variety of real-world, inquiry-based, participant-focused, and engaging experiences. Programs may vary from short 10-15 minute introductory activities to more in-depth family learning experiences that can last 30 to 60 minutes. The STEM approach is an especially impactful way to introduce young children to the more traditionally rigorous STEM fields. Local artists, scientists, and other community partners such as the Bureau of Land Management, U of U Science Department, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and the Utah Division of Arts and Museums are a few of the community partners who have collaborated with the museum. We strongly believe that through interaction with STEAM exhibits and programs, participants can experience wonder, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, and most importantly, learning through play.

The STEAM Lab is proudly sponsored by Collins Aerospace and the Williams Foundation.
