This program is for rising 6th-8th graders interested in diving into the exciting world of chemistry! Chemistry Science Fair draws students in with a series of exciting hands-on labs. Specific labs will vary year to year and in accordance with the interests of the students. Some labs borrow from science fair projects utilized in recent competitions. Here are a few examples:
-Chemistry of Art: Students examine the chemistry of colors, pigments, and dyes.
-Forensic Chemistry: Students solve forensic mysteries by examining fibers and trace materials.
