The New York Section of the American Chemical Society, ACS,
will be sponsoring the Annual Chemagination contest. Chemagination is a science essay and poster contest for high school chemistry students, grades 9-12, that asks them to address the question,

"What innovation or breakthrough in the field of chemistry will be important in the lives of teenagers 25 years from now?"

Students choose one of four categories: Alternative Energy Resources, Environment, Medicine/Health, or New Materials and their entries are written as articles of 1000 words or less that might appear in a future issue of ChemMatters, a science publication for high school students. This is a great opportunity to challenge your students to demonstrate an understanding of chemical principles through creative, independent research.
