Department of Chemistry Open House

A science presenter wearing a red “Science Expeditions” shirt conducts a chemistry demonstration at a table filled with beakers and flasks, one of which is producing white vapor. A person in a badger mascot costume wearing safety goggles stands beside them holding a container. Several children sit in front watching the demonstration, and a large periodic table hangs on the wall behind them. — Chemistry demonstration show with Jim Maynard and Bucky Badger!
