Weeks 10-13: Yay Science!

#10 Science Outreach Visits
My big project for the month of March has been a couple of science outreach visits to local schools. The students seemed to like the experiments and demonstrations of chemical principles!

One of the visits involved doing demonstrations with some hands on participation from the students for two classes.. I was a little nervous beforehand, because even though I've been doing similar things for years, it's usually either for smaller groups of students or I'm working with a partner.

The theme was lab experiments / demonstrations from things found in the kitchen or bathroom. All the reagents were common nontoxic household items, so you can do them at home with a kid (or just for fun).
