WASHINGTON, March 11, 2025 — Glaciers, slime, and science? That’s just the beginning at this year’s **ACS Kids Zone**, a free, family-friendly event hosted by the **American Chemical Society (ACS)** on **Saturday, March 22**, from **11 a.m. to 2 p.m. PST** at the **Logan Memorial Educational Campus** in **San Diego, California**.
Sponsored by ACS President Dorothy J. Phillips, this one-day event invites children and families to explore the fascinating world of glaciers through hands-on activities led by real scientists. From photo ops with ACS mascot Meg-A-Mole to interactive science stations, Kids Zone is where curiosity takes center stage.
Families can dive into cool experiments like:
**Snap, Crackle, Pop!
**Compare candy crackles to glacier sizzles. It’s chemistry you can hear.
**Ice Cores Count
**Build a model ice core and count its layers to reveal the secrets of ancient snow.
**Ice Melt Race
**Test various melting methods and uncover which poses the greatest threat to our precious glaciers.
**Slime: A Model Glacier
**Make your own glacier slime and take it home!
**Glaciers on the Move
**Build an exciting obstacle course and watch your slime glide downhill just like ice on a real glacier.
**Icy Lakes and Oceans
**Curious whether ice water sinks or floats? You don't need to visit a lake or ocean—find out during this activity and uncover the fascinating science behind it.
**Registration is free but required in advance.**
