Chemistry demonstration shows
Description:
The Demonstration Shows expose children to science, and spark their interest in chemistry
through hands-on experience. The Demonstrations also work to illustrate the practicality
of modern chemistry. Alpha Chi Sigma is the primary vehicle for chemistry outreach
within and outside the university. Chemistry shows are performed annually for K-State's
All University Open House. Shows are conducted in conjunction with New Student Services
to groups of prospective K-State students. Additionally, chemistry shows are put on
at the local mall during the National Chemistry Week.
