| April | 15 | New York Local Section Public Outreach Outreach to the Girl Scouts As part of the IYC Celebration ' The Importance of Clean Water' , the Hofstra University Student Members Chapter of the ACS held an outreach event for the Nassau Girl's Scouts. The event took place on Friday April 15th at Hofstra University. There were 43 Girl Scouts from the 4th - 5th grade. We had 6 undergraduate students who assisted in the event. The event included two videos on Clean water and several hands on experiments. The students were asked to bring in samples of water from anywhere in their communities and we had the students test the pH using pH paper. We also had the students do two other experiments: one on Vinegar and pH and one on Filtration. As a Fun experiment we had the Girl scouts do the Magic Sand experiment. All the Girl scouts and parents had a great time. |
