In conjunction with the International Year of Chemistry 2011 and GVSU’s 50th anniversary, the university will host Super Science Saturday on Jan. 29 on the Allendale campus.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., every classroom and lab in Padnos Hall of Science will be dedicated to hands-on activities for students, parents, teachers and community members to explore chemistry.

GVSU faculty and guest presenters will show how chemistry connects with biology, geology, physics, health science, engineering, history, art and other disciplines.

The event is hosted by GVSU’s Regional Math and Science Center (RMSC), Department of Chemistry, and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The event is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. One adult per five children is requested for safe supervision.
