Tallahassee Science Festival
Tallahassee Science Festival
The ChemiNoles GSA is happy to participate in this year's Tallahassee Science Festival. There will be many fields represented with exciting demos for all attendees. Our group will focus on chemistry experiments to explain fundamental principles and showcase current research at FSU. Bring your sunscreen and expect to stay all day for this exhilarating, science-packed event!
Please come join us to learn about:
Chemical Gardens
This year chemical garden experiments were launched into space
to learn about how they grow under microgravity. At our booth
you can form your own chemical gardens just like those sent to the
International Space Station!
The Marangoni Effect
The Marangoni effect is based on gradients in surface tension.
Attendees can visualize this phenomenon while racing boats!
Solar Cell Cars
See how solar energy can be transformed into mechanical
energy through solar powered cars.
Radioactivity at Home
Even everyday, household items contain radiation. Although
we cannot see it, we can detect it with devices like a Geiger
counter. Come see what radioactive items might be lurking
in your home!
Oxygen Dissolution
We use the Blue Bottle Experiment to demonstrate how oxygen
from the air can dissolve into a liquid. Just a gentle shake will
turn the clear liquid blue!
Non-Newtonian Fluids
Fluids can act in surprising ways. Their properties can resemble
liquids and solids.
