Mornings of ChemistryScience is pretty cool, especially when you get to teach it using demonstrations and experiments. Thanks to a ChemClub Community Grant from the American Chemical Society, the 5th grade students at Askew Elementary got to see just how exciting chemistry can be.
Members of the Westside High School Chemistry Club spent 2 months each semester planning and organizing our "Morning of Chemistry" days. Throughout each morning students learned about circuits, heat transfer, pressure and temperature relationships, combustion, polymers, and chemical reactions via a series of demonstrations and hands-on activities. Students were even allowed to take home a few "souvenirs" from the day! Because science is important throughout all aspects of life, it's important to get students interested early and keep them interested throughout middle school, high school, and life after graduation. Chemistry club hopes to create citizen scientists one demo day at a time, and with the positive feedback from both demo days, we plan to continue these "Mornings of Chemistry" next school year.
