According to NIU Today, Sara Billenstein, Chem Demo Night coordinator, said she wanted members of the public who come to the event with their children to be able to recreate experiments at home.

Some of the demonstrations that will be featured at the event include pH indication using cabbage or milk of magnesia, according to NIU Today. Other demonstrations include how ammonia reacts with water, how to make a variation of slime called gak and how to put a wooden skewer through a balloon without popping it.
