Magic Show Highlights from Fall 2010-Spring 2011
Click on the name of the demonstration to load a new page that contains information about the demo, video clips (in Real format) and pictures of the demo being performed, and sources for recipes.
Please note that many of these demos are difficult to perform in the classroom because they involve explosions, fires, smoke, or terrible odors — all of the things which chemists love!

Magic Show Pictures and Videos |
| Over the past few years, the science departments at ASU have been presenting a program called "Science Days," in which elementary school students from around San Angelo get to participate in various activities intended to stimulate interest in science. As a part of this program, the Chemistry Department puts on a "Magic Show" in which students and faculty from the department perform demonstrations which illustrate some basic ideas in chemistry and physics. Some photographs and video clips from various programs are available below. |
