Scenes from ‘The Wonderful World of Chemistry’

On Jan. 31, Sterling Chemistry Lab hosted “The Wonderful World of Chemistry: A Magic Show.” The one-hour interactive lecture drew hundreds of school students from around the community, and introduced basic chemistry concepts through “magic” tricks explained through the lens of science.

The event was sponsored by Yale Pathways to Science, which seeks to to encourage and support promising young scholars to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and opens the door for middle and high school students to explore STEM at Yale.
