Another school year has come and gone, and summertime is upon us! Soon we’ll all be enjoying cookouts, summer conferences (ChemEd 2019, anyone?), swimming at the beach, and fireworks on the Fourth of July. Speaking of the Fourth, I thought I’d share a color-changing “Chemical Mystery” that displays a summertime/Fourth of July theme. The chemistry involved is relatively simple, but how the trick is carried out allows for a wide variety of interesting possibilities. I’ll share the solution with you after a few days. Happy summer, and I hope to see you at ChemEd in Naperville!
