Each CitL outreach experience includes 3-4 experiments, which take about 45-minutes to 1-hour. All materials are provided. All you have to bring is curiosity, imagination, and willingness to participate.
At each CitL outreach session each student receives a take-home handout. This handout provides more details for the experiments that were just performed. In addition, we typically include between 1 and 3 take-home experiments. These experiments are do-it-yourself experiments with a parent or a friend.
Experiment Descriptions can be found via the following links:
A few of our session handouts are linked here (the handouts are downloadable in Adobe pdf format):
-
CitL: Monster Snot (Making different Slime - Polymer Science)
-
CitL: What's in a Color? (The Mysteries of Color Changing Markers)
Where we have used material from specific sources we have tried to ensure we give proper credit. We will try to get all our sessions up here but do not currently have all the booklets available in pdf.
Many thanks to the US Army Research Laboratory for their support in addition to the support from the MD Section of the ACS. (Donation/Funding of chemicals & supplies.)
