Do you remember going up to the high school in elementary school for a fun night full of science experiments and knowledge? Last year science night was brought back to LHS and will be continuing this year.

The event will be held in room 200, which is in the science wing on Tuesday March 10 from six to eight in the evening. Chemistry Club, Environmental Club, and the Physics department are all going to be participating.

Junior Bailey Eddy took the initiative to recreate science night.

“The first thing I did was talk to the head of the science department, Mr. Jorgensen and Dr. Adams,” Eddy said. “Then I made up a plan of how I wanted the demonstrations to be organized and I found volunteers and it implemented itself.”

Last year there were over 25 students and seven instructors who supervised and helped with experiments. There are even more this year hoping to participate.

“[Chemistry Club] will have a variety of different activities the students can participate in such as the mole cannon, flammable vapors, methane bubbles, and dry ice,” Chemistry Club sponsor Stuart Jorgensen said.

“[For Environmental Club] we will teach the kids about conservation and different endangered animals,” junior Katie Baker said.

The preparation of each experiment is quite similar.

“I had to go in early during liberty hour last year and dissect my shark,” senior Christian Hannah said. “I also had an informational packet to properly educate the students on what they were seeing.”

Since the students have specific experiments the preparation is not as difficult.

“There’s advertisement, then prep for the demos we’re going to do,” Baker said.

Not only do high school students get community service hours, they get an opportunity to share their knowledge and passion of science with younger students.

“[My favorite thing is] seeing the children learning new things, and seeing them get excited about the things I get excited about,” Eddy said.

The younger students are not the only ones learning new things and enjoying the science night.

“You get to see all sorts of things you don’t usually get to see.” Hannah said. “You get to see massive snakes and fire, it’s the things that draw kids to science in the first place.”
