A Cross-Curricular Project Produced in Cooperation with the Escalante High School Chemistry and Junior English Classes.
The links below will take you to the web page of the demonstration. The web pages includes an iMovie of the demonstration, the procedural steps with safety tips, a still-clip from the movie, a biographical sketch of a famous scientist associated (or not) with the demonstration, a listing of famous events of the scientist’s year, and some questions and answers based on the demonstration. We hope that you enjoy our work and can get some good use out of it!
