Ion Jones at Science on the Road

Ion Jones and the Lost Castle of Chemistry

Discover the hidden treasures of chemistry in this action-packed, heart-pounding adventure! Team up with chemistry adventurer Ion Jones and real PPG scientists on a global quest to collect the elements. Journey to rain forests, deserts, glaciers, ancient temples, and prehistoric carbon deposits, and learn how we use chemistry in industry, biology, technology, and the environment. Is it a far stretch from the Pillar of Polymers? Can we escape the Cavern of Catalysts in time? By the time your students reach the Castle, they will have explored states of matter and observed chemistry in action—from chlorine to combustion. This interactive, multimedia chemistry demonstration is downright explosive!
