Fetterolf and Pariyadath work the first crowd before starting the demonstrations. Students from grades 6-8 participated in this year's event. Dr. Fetterolf observers as students prepare a reaction which alternates between blue and red. Students monitor the oscillating reaction and watch for the blue to turn back to red. A coke bottle rocket engine the students built goes off.
Students supply elbow grease to start a reaction which duplicates the light produced by fireflies.
Students watch as several gummie-bears are oxidized in a beaker.
