National Chemistry Week
2008
Poster Contest
As part of the National
Chemistry Week (NCW) 2008 the American Chemical Society (ACS)
is hosting a poster contest for students in kindergarten
– grade 12.
Students
are invited to create a poster that celebrates the theme
“Having a Ball with Chemistry”. The poster should
be fun, motivational and inspire students to discover the
connections between chemistry and sports.
Consider how
science/chemistry is used in sports. For example:
• Importance of an
active lifestyle for physical well-being
• Chemistry in materials used
for sports
• Improvements in sporting
equipment made possible through chemistry (e.g. improve
safety or allow for “extreme sports”)
• Chemistry and sports
nutrition
