On Saturday, March 16th, ACS President Mary K. Carroll will sponsor a free public event at Xavier University’s Convocation Center. Participants will enjoy hands-on science activities, the opportunity to meet real chemists, and educational giveaways!
Here are the planned activities:
- Build-A-Battery Workshop– Make a voltaic pile powerful enough to light a small LED bulb.
- Explore Electrolytes– Experiment and learn which beverage makes the best battery.
- Pencil Electrolysis- Use a battery to start a couple of colorful chemical reactions, to find out which bubbles are made of hydrogen, and which are made of oxygen.
- Make-and-Take Paper Battery- Made of only paper, foil, and saltwater, this small battery really works!
- Soccer Ball Chemistry- Experiment with a deconstructed soccer ball to get the inside story on how it’s made.
- Hand it to Chemistry! – Let your hands reveal whether you and a special someone have chemistry.
