This year, we celebrate solving mysteries through chemistry. We all have fingerprints and
DNA but rarely do we discuss the chemistry involved. Chemistry works in such a way that
we can detect the identity of an individual by using different chemical techniques.
Celebrating Chemistry:
The Celebrating Chemistry publication is designed to engage and educate children in the
basic principles of chemistry and is available in both English and Spanish. This National
Science Education Standards-aligned hands-on activity publication for elementary school
students will highlight:
• Fingerprinting
• DNA
• Art forgeries
• Pigments and colorants
K-12 Contest:
The National illustrated poem contest will
focus on this year’s NCW theme. Participants are
encouraged to illustrate concepts related to the
chemistry of forensics. The illustrated poems relate to common applications of chemistry
that people might not normally think is related to chemistry.
Each year National Chemistry Week reaches millions of people with positive messages
about the contributions of chemistry. Join in the celebration of NCW 2016! Visit

National Chemistry Week is a program of the American Chemical Society’s Department of
Volunteer Support
