Mr. Wizard’s visit On Jan. 10, the students at Dallas Elementary got a scientific treat. Mr. Wizard's official assis- tant, Heather Dailide, was invited by the PTO to give a presentation in the gym. The morning kinder- garten, first, second, and fourth grades went at 10 a.m. and the afternoon kindergarten, third, and fifth grades went at 1:15 p.m. Ms. Dailide showed students how to practice four important science skills — observing, pre- dicting, analyzing, and measuring — through experiments using ev- eryday items. “You don’t need a lot of fancy scientific equipment, be- cause everything you need can be found right in your home,” she said. Several students from the audience were called up to help take part. Some of the experiments were: taking the iron out of Total break- fast cereal; putting a big needle through a balloon without pop- ping it; removing the carbon diox- ide from a can of soda; and com- paring the properties of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. y Gare January 23, 2001 7:15 p.m Wilkes University Marts Center, Wilkes-Barre, PA Free Admission Call 826-7717 for more information Proceeds benefit the Children’s Miracle Network at Geisinger WW WILKES UNIVERSITY Geisinger Medical Group Wilkes-Barre Discover the difference.
