At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School, there are many clubs for students to take part in. Recently, a student at this school founded a new club, the chemistry club. Patrick O’Donnell, a junior at Our Lady of Lourdes, created the Chemistry Club this year. He founded this club to provide hands-on learning through various labs. The first meeting taught about supersaturated solutions and how they can cause crystallization, as seen in the creation of rock candy. The Chemistry Club’s future plans include labs creating elephant toothpaste, lava lamps, borax crystals, glowing water, and much more.
During the meeting, the roles of club vice president and treasurer were voted for. Antonio Silverio became the vice president of the chemistry club, and Sofia DeLeon became treasurer. They both plan to assist in making this club as entertaining and educational as possible. For those interested in joining this club, email Patrick O’Donnell, the president of the club, at patrick.odonnell.26@ollchs.org or Ms. Smith, the moderator, at smithl@ollchs.org.
