Physics and chemistry in third grade!

A smiling student holds a string attached to a cup

Regeneron scientists visited all district elementary schools Tuesday and conducted hands-on (and hands dirty!) experiments with third graders.

The next generation of George Washington Carvers at Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) used chemistry to create Oobleck, a slimy goo made from water and corn starch that’s both a liquid and a solid.

Students also channeled Neil de Grasse Tyson in physics experiments that required them to work in teams to move plastic cups using strings attached to a single rubber band.

Take a look at a Facebook photo album from the morning. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, “To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
