Stephen F. Austin (SFA) State University is located in Nacogdoches, Texas. Nacogdoches has the distinction of being "The Oldest Town" in Texas. The ACS Student Affiliate at SFA was restarted in October of 2014. With a renewed vigor the section trained 6 undergraduate students to safely conduct classical chemical demonstrations. Thereafter, we brought the demonstratins to local schools. In the process, the student members honed their presentation to younger stuents which lead to a greater appreciation of chemistry by all. In the poster we will present a descriptions of the demonstrations given, and a teaching tools we developed to follow up with the students. Images of the children enjoying chemistry will also be shared.
