The Magic of Chemistry The CU Wizards Show on Saturday, October 20, 2007, will explore
'The Magic of Chemistry.' The show will demonstrate reactions that might appear
'magical,' but instead are based on well-understood, fascinating chemistry. The
show will have a Halloween theme, and children are invited to wear costumes!
Four students, who are 'wizards in training,' will assist with reactions that
produce heat, light, color changes, and polymeric products. The rates of
reactions will be varied by changing concentration, temperature, surface
area, and adding catalysts. Students will be invited to predict the results
of the experiments using 'clickers.' Don't miss the fire-breathing pumpkin
and other 'magic!' |
