Elemental Expeditions is a chemistry outreach program that was created at Salt Lake Community College to provide hands-on chemistry learning to underserved schools in the Salt Lake City area. The goal of this study was to measure the change in science-based informational knowledge and perception in K-6 elementary school students using a written and a pictorial assessment administered before and after each classroom presentation. The results of this study show a clear change in both informational knowledge and perception, with the largest change being found in the “Who can be a scientist?” category.<br/>
