K-STATE, LOCAL SECTION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY OFFERING FUN 1xbet online casino -RELATED ACTIVITIES OCT. 24 AT MANHATTAN TOWN CENTER
MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's local section of the American 1xbet online casino Society will celebrate National 1xbet online casino Week with special 1xbet online casino -related activities at the Manhattan Town Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24.
All of the activities are free and open to the public.
The local observance of National 1xbet online casino Week, Oct. 18-24, is organized by the local section of the American Chemical Society and the K-State department of 1xbet online casino .
Activities include 1xbet online casino magic shows -- with a Halloween flare -- at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., put on by K-State's chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma, the professional 1xbet online casino fraternity.
"The show will include shrinking ghosts, colored fire and glowing pickles," said Yasmin Patell, assistant teaching scholar in K-State's department of 1xbet online casino and a member of the local section of the American Chemical Society. "It is a show that will appeal to all ages."
Also to be offered will be a glassblowing demonstration at noon by Jim Hodgson, K-State's senior scientific glassblower, as well as hands-on activities for kids: making bouncy balls, slime, 1xbet online casino tattoos and a gas from vinegar and baking soda.
Free helium balloons will be handed out and several demonstrations showing fun with 1xbet online casino will be given, including collapsing soda cans, how to stick a needle through a balloon without popping it, fruit-powered clocks, hand boilers and metals with memory.
"We celebrate National 1xbet online casino Week because, contrary to what most people think when they hear the word '1xbet online casino ,' 1xbet online casino has given us an enormous number of positive and essential benefits that we take for granted in our everyday lives," Patell said.
"Through 1xbet online casino we produce catalytic converters, batteries, plastics, computer, and drugs that treat and cure illness," she said. "The more we know about 1xbet online casino , the better we can face new challenges such as the energy crisis, a pandemic flu or global famine. Yes, 1xbet online casino is pretty important."
National 1xbet online casino Week is an outreach program of the American Chemical Society aimed at improving the public's awareness of 1xbet online casino 's contributions to everyday lives and its importance to the nation's economy.
The American Chemical Society is the world's largest scientific society with a membership of more than 154,000 chemists and chemical engineers. The society publishes scientific journals and databases, convenes major research conferences and provides educational, science policy and career programs in 1xbet online casino .
