Rainbow Stew

Michael got to teach Ms. Curtis' class at Benson Elementary about colors yesterday. The children had a great time being introduced to the basic concepts of color and light. As you see below they all had a good time seeing the colors of the spectrum through their diffraction grating lenses.

Rockets on the Road

Our Science on Wheels Educator, Michael Peckerar, is on the road today at Wakelon Elementary in Wake County. About 150 students will be learning the basics of Physics and Chemistry. They will get to see rockets take off and remote control flying discs as they learn about the laws of physics. Then they will get to see first hand how a solid and a liquid can be mixed to yield various gases as they experience Chemistry firsthand. I won't say more about what happens with the gases because that would ruin the surprise for everybody!
