I lead a popular after-school science club in a k-5 school. Chemistry topics and activities have and will figure prominently in 2011.
We cover seven to eight topics per year. Chemistry topics recently covered or planned include:
Fall 2010: Elements (one session) (Supported by donated periodic tables Barnes and Noble)
(60 1-5th grade students)
Acid/Base indicators (one session) (supported by the American Chemical Society)
Separating mixtures by paper chromatography (one session)
(57 1-5th grade students)
Winter 2011: Electrochemistry/batteries (two sessions) (55 1-5th grade students)
Analytical chemistry: (one session) Soil Analysis for N, P and K (supported by
(49 1-5th grade students)
Two BP A+ for Energy grants (2008, 2009) provided the basic equipment and supplies to support these activities into the foreseeable future.
