To coincide with the 2018 <i>Chemistry is Out of this World </i>ACS Chemistry-Week theme, six Wesley College Organic Chemistry II students fashioned experiments and hands-on activities for approximately 350 K-8 students during a day-long Delaware (DE)-ACS Section sponsored event. Through the DE-EPSCoR and DE-INBRE program sponsorship, the Wesley participants exhibited fun, space-themed, scientific principles in the construction of dry-ice comets, galaxy bottles, lava lamps, and UV-bracelets. Such engaging activities allowed the primary and middle school participants to learn about the importance of collaborative engagement, thoughtful questions and approaches, and the substance of failure in science. In addition, the Wesley students fostered new connections, gained significant appreciation of basic science, and became adept at finding available resources.
