SPICE

The SPICE (Students Participating In Chemical Education) traveling demonstration program is an enormous success, having reached 50,000 people in six years. We have assembled our experience into this guidebook on how to organize and put on a van program—with or without a van. Includes "scripts" of demonstrations, advice on gearing an activity to different audiences, notes on safety, a bibliography of demonstration source-books, and suggestions for hands-on activity events.
