ACS Spring 2024 Kids ZoneDescription
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
