USI Professor to Demonstrate Science Experiments

Tuesday, October 29
1 – 2 p.m.

Helfrich Park STEM Academy

Students don’t normally get to do science experiments where things explode, but thanks to a visit from USI professor Jeffrey Seyler, students at Helfrich Park STEM Academy will get that chance. Seyler will visit the school tomorrow to perform a series of science demonstrations, including the infamous “exploding trashcan,” which demonstrates liquid nitrogen and the physical state changes. Students also will see what happens when hydrogen is used as a fuel source in exploding balloons.
