American Chemical Society Student Affiliates at UC San Diego

We will be doing a demonstration of a chemical reaction commonly known as "Foam Monsters". It uses polyutherane foam which rises and hardens inside a cup, creating a "foamy monster effect". Participants can add decorations of their choice while the foam is hardening and can take it home, while learning about exothermic reactions. None of the chemical used are toxic, and adequate safety protocols will be implemented. The initial chemical mixing will be done by us, then given to participants.

Magnolia Science Academy

Magnolia Science Academy is a California Distinguished School. MSA is a public, charter STEAM focused middle school serving San Diego since 2005. Our student ambassadors and teachers will be engaging guests through several hands-on, interactive science experiments/activities such as elephant toothpaste, biome diorama, chemical reaction experiments and molecule sticks. In addition to hands-on science activities, we will also provide our guests with cool, interactive art and math activities.

Elementary Institute of Science

EIS will be partnering with Science Delivered to offer fun, engaging, hands-on activities for children. We will have paper helicopters for children to make and take home. We will have items to demonstrate and represent different STEM fields, such as blocks for engineering, preserved marine specimens, simple chemical reactions, a drone on display, etc.

Society of Women Engineers-San Diego

1. Simple Machines: demo/hands-on teaching of the inclined plane, the lever, & pulley to show how they can make work easier. 2. Power-up with Paper: Using a piece of paper, copper tape, coin battery, and LED's, students learn electrical connections when building their circuit and they get to take home. From our phone convo, we will have middle/high school students and collegiate (from various schools) volunteering as NEAR PEER role models. Thank you for the school scholarship consideration!

San Diego Natural History Museum

San Diego is an amazing place and it allows us to journey from our rich coastline to the mountains and from ancient forests to the rugged desert wilderness. Join the Nat as we jump into activities focused on our own backyard wilderness. We’ll explore native plants, animals that co-exist in our urban spaces and want we can do to help with conservation in this place we call home.
