Department of Chemistry

 Chemistry grad students helped celebrate National Chemistry Week at Taft Elementary School on October 29th. Kids were lead through an interactive experiment to teach the Scientific Method and foster excitement for Science Fair. Strong support from Taft administrators and teachers has helped the program have a large impact. Since 2012, when the program was started by Dr. Kerry Hanson, participation in Science Fair has increased from a few entries per grade to full participation for grades 3-6. ACS regional chair, Dr. DiMauro, also provided a "mole" for every student.
