Dear High School Teacher:

The Dead Chemist Society demonstration programs have been an annual event at Louisiana Science Teachers Association conferences since 1990.   It features about fifteen to twenty demonstrations that illustrate a wide variety of scientific principles.  The program lasts for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.  It is nationally recognized as one of the most interesting, entertaining, and educational programs of its type.
