Celebrate National Chemistry Week 2013!

Meet scientists and students from all around New England who will lead fun, educational activities around the Museum. Build your own battery, split water into hydrogen and oxygen, find out why some light bulbs save more energy than others, and test the conductivity of a sports drink!
