| On November 7 & 8, 2001, area industry, academia, and LDEQ celebrated five years of ChemFriends. For the fifth year, Ascension Parish sixth graders enjoyed an exciting learning experience, a chemistry fair with booths, exhibitions, experiments, demonstrations, and projects. Sixth graders from both public and private schools visited the fair with their schools. Students participated in real experiments, learned about chemical processes and interacted with professional chemists, engineers, and technical and craft workers who helped them to translate classroom theory into practical, real-world solutions. |
