The Loras American Chemical Society Student Chapter hosted their first ever Chemistry Carnival. In this event, middle to elementary aged children learned about the sweet side of chemistry with over a dozen hands on activities and demonstrations, such as learning how to make rock candy. Some of the themes for these demonstrations included learning about the chemistry of the body, environmental chemistry, and the chemistry of candy! In addition to the chemistry carnival, the ACS student chapter hosted the Chemistry Olympics – an event where high school students participate in various chemistry competitions, such as titration races. Finally, other activities of the student chapter, such as mole day celebrations and guest speakers, are presented.
