The Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society at Texas Christian University (TCU Chemistry Club), through collaboration with Cook Children's Medical Center, is producing a chemistry experiment-based television program ('Sick Science Show'). The show is targeted to Cook Children's 100,000+ annual patients, who range in age from newborn to 18 years old. The program features Chemistry Club members alongside volunteer patients, performing ACS-approved chemistry experiments and demonstrations. Episodes are filmed, edited, and produced by Cook Children's staff. We have filmed several full-length episodes, commercials, intros, and promos, which are in rotation on the hospital's internal television network, GetWellNetwork �. Paper copies of the demonstration descriptions are available for patients to follow along with the experiments in their rooms as they are performed on the show. The patients are able to fully immerse themselves in learning and understanding the experiments, discovering more about chemistry and developing their interest in and love of science.
