In the past, lively demonstrations and interesting laboratory experiments were used to engage students in high school chemistry classes. Issues of safety, disposal, and cost now limit teachers&#8217; abilities to incorporate demonstrations and laboratory experiments, rendering the subject less exciting and less relevant to the students&#8217; daily lives.<span class=\"style_3\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The UCI Chemistry Outreach Program was developed to address these issues. In the UCI Chemistry Outreach Program, teams of graduate and undergraduate students visit local K-12 schools to perform demonstrations and talk about chemistry.
