Frequently asked questions

What is a fun, easy chemistry experiment I can do at home in Stockton?

Let's make "Disappearing Eggshell"! This shows how acids can affect materials, a very important concept for understanding water quality in the Delta. You'll Need: A raw egg (be careful not to crack it!) A clear glass or jar, big enough to hold the egg White vinegar The Experiment: 1. Gently place the raw egg in the bottom of the glass. 2. Pour in enough vinegar to completely cover the egg. 3. Watch closely! You'll see tiny bubbles forming all over the eggshell. Leave it for a full day (24 hours). 4. After a day, carefully pour out the old vinegar and pour in fresh vinegar. Leave it for one more day. 5. After the second day, carefully rinse the egg with water. The hard shell will be gone, leaving a rubbery, bouncy egg! What's Happening? Eggshells are made of calcium carbonate (a base). The vinegar (an acid) creates a chemical reaction that dissolves the shell, releasing carbon dioxide gas (the bubbles!). It shows how important it is to keep our Delta water from becoming too acidic, which can harm the shells of animals that live there.

Are there any local summer camps for a kid interested in science?

Yes! The University of the Pacific in Stockton often hosts a variety of academic and STEM-focused summer camps for different age groups. These are fantastic opportunities to get a feel for a college campus and do fun, hands-on science activities.

What are the "easy" topics in chemistry?

Learning the parts of an atom, how to read the periodic table, naming simple compounds, and balancing basic chemical equations.

Where can I get a chemistry degree in Stockton?

Stockton has an excellent local pathway to a four-year degree. University of the Pacific (UOP): UOP is a prestigious private university right here in Stockton with a highly respected Department of Chemistry. It offers American Chemical Society (ACS) certified degrees and is known for its small class sizes and undergraduate research opportunities. San Joaquin Delta College: Delta College is a fantastic community college and the perfect place to start your journey. You can take all your foundational chemistry, physics, and math classes in a supportive environment before seamlessly transferring to UOP or a CSU or UC school.

Are there different kinds of chemistry?

Yes, many! The main five are: Organic Chemistry (the chemistry of carbon and life), Inorganic Chemistry (metals and minerals), Analytical Chemistry (the "detective" chemistry of what stuff is made of), Physical Chemistry (the physics of chemistry), and Biochemistry (the chemistry of life).

What key topics to study for the Chemistry Olympiad (USNCO) exam?

The USNCO is a comprehensive exam covering the full range of first-year college chemistry, including stoichiometry, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, and introductory organic and inorganic chemistry.
