Baker group participates in Breakfast of Science Champions at OSU

On November 4th Columbus middle school students journeyed to OSU for Breakfast of Science Champions. For this event, middle school students got to experience what it was like to be a scientist in the chemistry department. The students traveled to four different stations around the chemistry department with different chemistry demos as well as some hands on activities. The Baker group station consisted of two different activites where students learned about molecular interactions. The students were really excited to be around real scientists!
