The marvels of Mad Science were on display at Deer Park’s May Moore Primary School on Feb. 4 during an interactive “Fire and Ice” show that included lessons on vortexes and levitation. To the students’ amazement, an everyday hairdryer was used to create a mini tornado that lifted balloons. 

“When planning our assemblies, we intentionally align the themes and lessons with the curriculum being taught in our classrooms,” Assistant Principal Kimberly Essig said. “During the Mad Science assembly, our students were incredibly excited to observe experiments and make meaningful connections between their classroom learning and the real world. Students arrived with background knowledge that allowed them to actively engage with the presenter, ask thoughtful questions and develop a deeper understanding of how different scientific reactions take place.”
