Elementary/Secondary School Outreach

• Looking at Sound - talk given to two Grade 4 classes at Lancaster Drive Public School, Kingston, May 1999. These classes included acting out the movement of air molecules in response to a vibrating metre stick, plotting the displacement to visualize the sound waves, and recording of sounds so that the frequency content could be visualized. The concept of a spectrum was introduced, and spectral analysis software was used to generate spectra for musical instruments.
  
  
• States and Matter - talk given to Grade 5 class at Lancaster Drive Public School, Kingston, June 1999. The class included live demonstrations and computer animations of chemical reactions.
  
  
• Statistical Quality Control Using Charting - talk given to Grade 5 class at Lancaster Drive Public School, Kingston, December 1997. This class including an experiment in which candy canes where monitored for weight.
  
  
• What is Chemical Engineering? - talk given twice as part of the Enrichment course series for highschool students, taught at Queen's, May 1998.
