Don't miss chemical sciences exhibits at the Engineering Open House this week!

Calling all future scientists and chemical engineers! Have you ever wondered why things glow? Wanted to solve a mystery? Discover the magical world of polymers? If so, join the School of Chemical Sciences' Registered Student Organizations at the Engineering Open House this Friday, April 8, and Saturday, April 9, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. 

The American Chemical Society (ACS)
Visit "A Murder in Five Acts" to use chemistry to solve a mystery! Make your own silver vial, or see what pigments make up pen inks. (Note: a murder-free storyline exists for younger audiences.)
Location: Everitt Lab, Main Atrium

Reaching and Educating America's Chemists of Tomorrow (REACT) 
Learn about the fantastic world of polymers! Examine cool stress rainbows, make your own slime or bouncy balls, and more at "Prolific Polymers."
Location: Campus Instructional Facility, Study Steps

American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)
Come see how chemists and chemical engineers are revolutionizing the world of fine desserts with molecular gastronomy. Learn how to make water balls at "Spherification: a Taste of Molecular Gastronomy."
Location: Everitt Lab

Ever wondered why some things glow under UV light? How investigators can spot blood at a crime scene? Why do fireflies shine? Learn about chemiluminescence at "Luminol (Why do Things Glow?)"
Location: Bardeen Quad
