Mrs. Block's Chemistry Club

by Madison Gates

Mrs. Block’s Chemistry Club had their first monthly meeting on Saturday. They experimented with different labs and demonstrations to showcase during a December visit from Crestwood’s 2nd – 5th graders with the Gifted and Talented program. Also on the agenda was the design of their t-shirts and plans for the year.

“We will be working with the 7th graders again this fall performing labs with them and will be judging the Science Fair at Crestwood in the spring. We also want to start a recycling program for plastic bottles at the High School,” says Mrs. Block.

Chemistry Club is open to those that have taken or are currently enrolled in Chemistry II and meets on the second Saturday of each month. “It’s hard to get all club members together with their busy schedules,” Block stated, “but we do our best to interact with the community as much as possible to encourage our youth to take more science when they get to the high school.” Social outings are also scheduled such as roller skating, laser tag, and fun with “liquid nitrogen” day.
