Teach Engineering: Wizardry and Chemistry

For Teachers 11th - 12th
Students learn how common pop culture references (Harry Potter books) can relate to chemistry. While making and demonstrating their own low-intensity sparklers (muggle-versions of magic wands), students learn and come to appreciate the...
