Elementary Students Learn the Properties of Air During Interactive Lesson

Students at Andrew Muller Primary School and Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School in the Miller Place School District recently went Up, Up and Away during an interactive science lesson concerning air. Presented by Mad Science, students learned the properties of air pressure with hands-on chemical reactions involving plastic bags, toilet paper and more. Some students were able to ride on the Mad Science Hovercraft as part of a fun way to learn how planes fly and answers to other questions concerning air.
