The Chemistry 105 and 106 classes taught by professors Arnold, McComas, and Miller conducted a service learning activity with the Monroe County Library system. Students prepared demonstrations and hands-on science activities for elementary schools to do at the libraries. The event was held one evening at the Ellettsville Branch and at the Bloomington Branch on another evening. Approximately 90 children attended each evening. This is the second year we have done this event and we plan to continue it in the future.
