National Chemistry Week
October 20-26, 2002

From the American Chemical Society:

"Chemistry Keeps Us Clean.
Beginning this year, National Chemistry Week, formerly held the first full week of November, will be celebrated the fourth week of October. The 2002 celebration will take place October 20-26 and the theme is "Chemistry Keeps Us Clean." As part of the celebration, volunteers will engage millions of individuals in activities that help the public better understand what chemistry is and how it relates to keeping everything that is around us clean. We believe that the 2002 theme provides many opportunities for creating discussions for explaining the chemical properties of cleaners ranging from soaps and detergents to toothpaste and mouthwash."

This year, the Descriptive Inorganic class will prepare web pages that focus on different cleaning products and their ingredients and a three page PowerPoint presentation for their compound.
