A year of online classes has made us extra excited to be back on campus and getting our community involved in chemistry club. We started off the first week of the semester with liquid nitrogen ice cream on an exceedingly hot day. Our meetings have been designed with an online offering, as well as making it worthwhile for those who attend face to face, with hands-on experiments to try out. These include elephant’s toothpaste, edible water bottles made from calcium alginate gel, and slow to fast reactions depending on the temperature such as pop rocks and glow sticks. As a result of putting in this extra effort for meetings, we have seen a definite improvement in attendance, and new members are delighted in what they can now do! NCW on campus events included: mole day guacamole and chips (outside) and student led chemistry demonstrations such as, exploding pumpkins, iodine clock reactions, and soda and Mentos (which were all recorded and then the videos shared). Off campus activities at the Fernbank Science Center in Atlanta, were by recorded videos only. We were able to celebrate Halloween on campus with different hands-on experiments, and recorded more videos for our GGC S3 “Super Saturday Series” outreach which combines chemistry with technology, for both middle and high school aged girls and boys.
