Chemistry: From Reaction to Application PM (Gr. 7-8)

This course runs for six consecutive Saturdays, January 20 – February 24, 2024. 

Chemistry impacts - and explains - both the world around us and the reactions within us. Discover the way chemistry provides important information to scientists in diverse areas such as nutrition, food science, neurochemistry, genetic engineering and energy. Through interactive experiments and activities, investigate what causes or prevents chemical reactions, and learn how important the miniscule atom is to global issues.
