The Rye High School Chemistry Club said its first ever “Chemistry Day” on Sept. 28 appears to have produced a lot of positive reactions among participants and observers.
More than 100 people, mostly middle and elementary school students and their parents, were on hand at the Rye Free Reading Room to visit eight different stations that gave them a chance to create bubbling lava lamps, launch aerodynamic planes, and craft artificial snow using chemical reactions.
Rye High School senior and club president Bill Chen expressed pride in the group’s initiative.
“I’m grateful to our volunteers and to Ms.[Sally] Mitchell — who teaches AP chemistry and science research at Rye High School — for supporting us and giving us ideas, he said.
