Science 8
October 30, 2018
Frost eighth grade science students celebrated Halloween with a day of magical activities that turned out to be not magic, but real science! A wizard commanded apples to move in synchrony in an enchanted Newton’s cradle, produced vampire veins from a mixture of liquids, made a pumpkin bleed and then stopped the bleeding, caused infected hands to glow in the dark, changed a solid to a gas without forming a liquid first, and topped off the class with a blast of pumpkin combustion! Students realized that all the concepts (properties, density, solubility and chemical reactions) they had been studying were really visible in their lives, and especially so at Halloween!
