National Chemistry Week is a community-based program of the American Chemical Society (ACS). National Chemistry Week’s mission is to reach the public, particularly elementary and secondary school children, with positive messages about chemistry. Through print efforts and local events, more than 8 million people are reached each year through National Chemistry Week.
