\u201cWe attend the competition to enable our students to apply the chemistry knowledge that they have learned throughout the year and to experience a college setting,\u201d said Amy Nicodemus, an honors and conceptual chemistry teacher at Barrington High School. \u201cWe work hard to have a chemistry team of three teachers that work collaboratively to make an excellent program and thoroughly prepare our students to pursue AP chemistry or chemistry in college.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students had one hour to answer 45 multiple-choice chemistry questions, which were graded by 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate and undergraduate students, and staff. After the exam, students toured the Kingston Campus and the Beaupre Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences, the site of the competition. Graduate student Ben Cromwell also performed a series of chemistry demonstrations for students.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people in the Chemistry Department worked really hard to make this year\u2019s contest a success,\u201d said Ben Ruekberg, manager of the Chemical Undergrad Laboratory, who has overseen the chemistry contest for the last 30 years. \u201cAlso, we received a great deal of help from Erin Earle, associate director of the Campus Visit Experience and Welcome Center. She and her people contributed significantly to the students\u2019 enjoyment of the competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also appreciate all the hard work the high school teachers put in so their students could participate in the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
