On April 12, 2014, the 11th grade Johnson & Johnson Saturday Scholars program participants from the New Brunswick public school district participated in a Chemistry Lab that was facilitated by Dr. Robert Porcja with the Rutgers Chemistry Department. During this lab, students learned about the chemical mixing of solutions and determining how strong or weak the resulting solutions are. They also conducted a laboratory experiment where they analyzed the presence of iron in foods. The chemistry lab created a rich and interactive environment for our high school students. Dr. Porcja and his wonderful team of assistants made chemistry concepts that are typically difficult for high school students to relate to not only educationally attainable, but hands-on and entertaining as well.
