in Partnership with the CU Chemistry and biochemistry Club

What do you think the human body and a car engine have in common? Just how do plants make food from sunlight? What makes fireflies light up?

Energy produced by chemical reactions is used to fuel living systems. This program will show how energy is used in living systems by demonstrating some of the chemical reactions that are important in metabolism and respiration, photosynthesis and bioluminescence. These lively and illuminating demonstrations have been developed by CU’s Chemistry and Biochemistry Club.


This project receiveced funding from the CU-Boulder Outreach Committee, which is supported by the Office of the Chancellor, the Office of the Provost, and the Division of Continuing Education.

Limited grant funds are available to qualifying schools. Please call for details.
