Abstract
This activity is designed to be an independent project for high school chemistry students. Both the balloon demonstration and Alka-Pops activity were adapted from Super Science Connections (1). Students will have the opportunity to teach younger children (grades K–4) that science is fun and exciting. This will be a rewarding experience for both younger and older students. Elementary students will benefit by having additional "science time" with someone with whom they can identify. High school students will reap the rewards of cementing in their minds basic scientific principles and concepts, and knowing that they helped young children enjoy science!
