On Jan. 15, George McVey Elementary School in East Meadow welcomed Mad Science of Long Island for an engaging and educational school assembly.
Held in McVey’s gymnasium, the interactive presentation provided students with a fun and memorable introduction to basic scientific principles through safe, hands-on experiments. Led by “Static Shannon” from Mad Science of Long Island, the mad scientist captivated students with a variety of entertaining and easy-to-follow experiments focused on the science of air. Using everyday materials, she demonstrated key concepts such as air pressure, density and movement, bringing science to life in an exciting and accessible way.
Students were encouraged to actively participate throughout the presentation, allowing them to experience the experiments firsthand and deepen their understanding of the scientific concepts being explored. The assembly sparked curiosity, enthusiasm and plenty of excitement, reinforcing the school’s commitment to making learning both meaningful and fun.
