This is tenth year for the Chemistry Demonstrations Program. Since 2001, the program has provided elementary, middle and high school students with the opportunity to increase their appreciation of the importance of science, and in particular, to enrich their understanding of chemistry. The demonstrations combine chemical concepts with humor and music to present over a dozen highly visual and entertaining experiments that are a treat for all the senses.
Experiments include but are not limited to: Fruit Salad; Alka-Seltzer Rainbow; George’s Curious Banana Taffy; Elephant Toothpaste; Underwater Fireworks; A Magical Solution and Mission Impossible.
The Chemistry Demonstrations Program is directed by Dr. Rodger Berg, associate professor, coordinator of chemistry, chairperson of DeSales University’s Natural Science Department and head of DeSales University’s Health and Science Division. He is assisted by Dr. Julie Aaron, assistant professor; Ms. Sara Hayik, assistant professor; Dr. Francis Mayville, associate professor of chemistry; and Mrs. Patricia Hartman, chemistry laboratory manager.
