Learn something new today, so you can watch a cat stuck in a jar over and over guilt-free!

Dr. Roy Lowry wanted to demonstrate a few basic principles of science, notably the behavior of liquid nitrogen under pressure. But how to get that across in a way that even the least scientifically curious student would think of as awesome. Easy: Just add ping-pong balls!

Science has done a lot of great things in our time. It’s brought mankind to the surface of the moon and back. It has given us a bountiful supply of food. It has created super-stretch waistbands on pants for people who are as big as the moon because they consume too much food.

Most people have what’s called ‘personal space‘ — an amount of room that we’re comfortable having between us and other people. But have you ever wondered why?

The Amarillo Parks & Recreation are taking registrations now for their science summer camp.
