Community Outreach and Education:
5th & 6th Grade Chemical Demonstration Program

Enhance your Chemistry Education With Your Students!

louters experimentMake chemistry come alive to your 5th and 6th grade students through a series of highly visual chemical demonstrations at this exciting program. |

Professor Larry Louters engages students in several chemical experiments and explains the science behind the demonstrations at a level that upper elementary students understand. Our program offers a great opportunity to blend your classroom chemistry curriculum with a visual translation of these chemical concepts.

This dynamic 75-minute program is free and is offered for eight sessions in May in the Gezon Auditorium at Calvin College. All local school groups and the home school community are invited to attend.
