This year Marks the 18th year the TVHS-ACS has celebrated Earth Day with the Girl Scouts.

Volunteers are being sought to perform a variety of scientific demonstrations highlighting the chemistry of batteries, e.g. making batteries from Cu/Zn cells, lighting an LED with a battery made from fruit, learning to send morse code with an LED powered by a button battery and copper ribbon plus more. Stations will be set up for hands on demos with groups of Scouts rotating through the various demos. The Scouts range in age from 5 to 13. Materials will be supplied, and volunteers will be trained as necessary.

The event will be held at the ETSU Geosciences Building (Ross Hall) on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Volunteers are requested to arrive at 12:00 PM to be trained and help with set up and stay until around 5:00 PM to help clean up.

If interested in volunteering, or for more information, please contact Deborah Wilkinson, TVHS-ACS Chemists Celebrating Earth Week Coordinator by April 1, 2024. For more information and Deborah’s contact information see this flyer.
