The 8th grade students enjoyed the chemical reactions demonstrated by Mr. Van Trump, Mr. Faircloth, and Mr. Lonsdale from Danimer Scientific and Meridian. Students were able to see the chemical properties of elements as they reacted with other substances. The Law of Conservation of Mass was also discussed as reactions were done. Furthermore, the importance of catalysts and inhibitors in a chemical reaction were shown as well. The experiments followed a study on the periodic table and chemical reactions. Some experiments included making Hydrogen balloons and lighting them and dropping chunks of sodium in water. It made for quite an explosive morning!
