The LLCC Chemistry and Environmental clubs are hosting the third annual “Haunted Lab” Monday, Oct. 26 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the LLCC-Springfield campus, 5250 Shepherd Road. Children five and older and parents/guardians are invited to the free event.

Children will see “spooky” science demonstrations and learn about experiments they can do at home. Experiments will be conducted by club members under the guidance of Jennifer Ramm, LLCC professor of chemistry. Children are welcome to wear Halloween costumes to the event. Halloween treats will be available for purchase.

Science demonstration shows will run about 20 minutes long and will take place in rooms 2213 and 2215 on the upper level of Sangamon Hall. Shows begin every 15 minutes at 5:30, 5:45, 6, 6:15, 6:30, 6:45, and 7 p.m. Children will see bubbles, fire and much more as they learn about science. While waiting for shows to begin, children can participate in hands-on activities across the hall in room 2216.

Pre-registration is required.  Those planning to attend can register at www.llcc.edu/haunted-lab.
