AFTER THE SHOW . . .


  • When chemicals are in use or uncontained, wear goggles and lab coat.

  • Prevent the audience from touching the demonstrations or chemicals!

    • After the magic show is over, if needed stand IN FRONT of the demos

    • Answer questions responsibly. Remember that some children will have a desire to go home and experiment on their own; focus on the chemistry not the recipe. We don’t want kids going home and trying to make thermite on their own.

    1. Dispose of all waste in the waste container provided.

    • Even if a demo says you can flush something down the drain, don’t. Pouring chemicals down the drain, although safe with most of these chemicals, isn’t setting a good example for school children. Place all liquid spend demonstrations in the waste container provided. Return the full waste container to Lecture Prep. Do not dispose of the waste yourself.

      • EXCEPTIONS: Elephant’s toothpaste can get very messy if not cleaned up immediately. Be sure that a sink out of sight of students will be accessible, so that you can wash the foam down the sink (using gloves).

    1. Promptly return all items to the Lecture Prep Laboratory

    • Promptly means the day of the demo, if at all physically possible. At the very latest, very first thing the next day. Any later than that puts an unacceptable burden on the Lecture Prep Lab staff’s ability to be of service to the faculty.
