Undergraduate Journal Club at Fruchthendler Elementary School
On February 6, 2025, the Undergraduate Journal Club, represented by members Ryenne Belt, Imani Ralph, Natalie Rawlings, Bryce Wilson, and Olivia Gibbons, participated in a vibrant outreach event at Fruchthendler Elementary School's Family Science Night. Demo experiments included elephant toothpaste, making a glow tube with luminol, and witnessing the high flammability of nitrocellulose by lighting cotton balls on fire! The Undergraduate Journal Club presented to an audience of around 80 elementary school students and parents.
CBC continues to receive a significant number of outreach requests from different schools and organizations to present and participate in outreach, such as providing demonstrations and interactive demonstrations, scheduling lab tours, having chemistry “magic shows,” meeting potential students, and attending high school career fairs.
CBC has a long history of engaging our community. CBC faculty, staff members, and several volunteer student groups respond to outreach requests from schools and organizations in the Tucson area. We love the opportunities to show the amazing world of chemistry and biochemistry to lifelong learners of all ages!
