On April 15, the School of the Sciences’ first
Spring Spectacular—open to all—featured
an afternoon of math- and science-inspired
interactive demonstrations, exhibits, and games.
Among the many activities: shooting Ping-Pong
balls out of a PVC pipe at 200 MPH to showcase
the force of atmospheric pressure and using
thermite to produce a lava-like substance capable
of burning through an old washing machine. A
bonus on the nice spring day? Students also
enjoyed ice cream made via liquid nitrogen.
