(Cushing, Okla.) The world’s leading provider of hands-on science programs for children is coming to Sunnyside Elementary School to bring a Science Discovery Day on May 4 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Get ready for some sizzlin’ excitement! The event starts with “Fire and Ice” . The children discover the amazing properties of fire and combustion and then, cool off with spectacular demonstrations involving dry ice! Check out the “Big Burp”, the “Screwdriver Sizzle” and the famous “Mad Science Bath”, as they explore the science behind this amazing frozen gas. The students then engage themselves in hands-on activities on electricity, air pressure, states of matter and chemical reactions and renewable energy.
