<br/>The session will look at several activities that could be done at many levels of chemistry.  Participants will explore looking at solutions, mixtures, states of matter through various activities.  Some of the activities will allow students to design a lesson and activity about the states of matter to share with elementary school students. This project embraces the spirit of the famous quote by Roman philosopher Seneca: “by teaching, we learn.” In order to successfully teach one of the states of matter to younger students, each group must have advanced knowledge of the subject.  In the hot popcorn activity, participants will be able to investigate different types of energy transfer in three different ways of making popcorn.  <br/><br/><br/>
