Abstract
Chemical demonstrations are used as an active-learning tool in a general chemistry course and as a method of outreach to a local middle school. The demonstrations are planned and prepared by groups of students, who first present them to their classmates and then take them to a middle school to present them to groups of middle school children in an event known as Chemistry Day.
