Silicon Valley Local Section Won a 2021 ChemLuminary Award for the Most Creative & Innovative Use of the CCEW Theme
“The Silicon Valley Local Section collaborated with the Redwood City Library to host virtual hands-on experiments based on the Chemists Celebrate Earth Week 2020 theme of “Protecting Our Planet through Chemistry.” The Section distributed activity materials around “earth-friendly plastics” and “(re)cycling water,” created a video demonstrating the experiments, and hosted a Zoom conference with 4th-7th graders to explain the science while students conducted experiments in the safety of the homes.”
