The goal of the Berry College American Chemical Society is to foster an environment for students who share a passion for science and a love for learning both on and off campus. Even though we were not able to meet in person frequently for much of the past year, we were still able to adapt and engage students in science. We hosted an online chemistry demonstration during National Chemistry Week where we prepared take-home kits to make magnetic slime over Zoom together. During this event, we shared the fun within chemistry with students, whether or not they pursued chemistry academically. Additionally, we value outreach to students outside of our college community. Through interactive chemistry demonstrations with our local Boys and Girls Club, we were able to teach students how to form a hypothesis and test experiments using engaging visualizations, such as the elephant’s toothpaste experiment and acid-base reactions. Chemistry is traditionally viewed as a daunting subject; however, the Berry College division of ACS has taken initiative to show that science is more than what happens in the classroom.
