Karen Jang and Mariela Shuley, employees of Science World's On The Road production, perform the 'How 2 Science' show for elementary school students, turning scientific methods into an exciting and entertaining experience. The students were thrilled during a demonstration involving a leaf blower and a hover board.
Karen Jang and Mariela Shuley may technically be employees with Science World's travelling On The Road production. "Before I did this job, I definitely didn't think it would be as exciting as it is," said Shuley in between shows at Vernon's Silver Star Elementary School Wednesday morning, Dec. 4.
Shuley and Jang have been doing On The Road for two and three years, respectively, and both do outreach with after-school science clubs, going into schools for six to eight weeks at a time and working with kids to conduct science experiments outside of regular class time. It's to the point where every time Jang flies, she's thinking about how the air provides lift to the plane, a quirk of physics taught in Science World's Fantastic Forces show.
It comes out in the form of"inquisitive and really smart questions," said Shuley. One kid asked them why helium can rise in a balloon despite the force of gravity.
