SUMMARY:National Chemistry Week
DESCRIPTION:Did you know chemistry plays a big role in how the receptors in our noses and mouths interact with spices?  The smallest difference in chemical structure can completely change a spice’s taste and/or smell.  This National Chemistry Week (October 19–25)\, celebrate “The Hidden Life of Spices” with us!  www.acs.org/ncw \nGood Afternoon\, \nI am writing to you today to invite your students to participate in National Chemistry Week and the ACS Illustrated Poetry Contest.  The contest is open to all students in grades K-12.   Entries are accepted in a series of categories.  I have attached a poster and also the entry form that needs to be submitted with each poem. \nThe ACS website has some very interesting resources that you might want to view that will help you show how chemistry is integral to the flavors and colors of spices.\nHere is the link: https://www.acs.org/education/national-chemistry-week/general-interest.html.  \nIf you want some free resources\, I have copies of a booklet for ages 9-12 that provides lots of information some easy activities you can use in your classroom.  I will be happy to give them to you until supplies last.  Please contact me to arrange how you can get these magazines in a timely fashion. \nPlease feel free to pass along this information to others in your school or your district. \nStudent Submission Deadline: Sunday\, October 26 by 11:59 PM ET \nContact me with any questions or concerns.  Thanks for helping us celebrate this special week!\nKathy Siok\, Rhode Island NCW Coordinator \nCelebrating Chemistry magazine cover
