CARLSBAD >> The Monterrey Elementary School Sci-Squad struck again, launching organically propelled rockets and causing volcanic eruptions on the grounds of the Early Childhood Education Center.
The third, fourth, and fifth graders from Monterrey Elementary, who have a passion for science, dedicated the day working with younger counterparts during ECEC's Science Day.
The children were invited to witness and in some cases participate in a variety of science experiments designed to explore the fun side of science.
The squad was led by Deena Antiporda, who volunteers her time and efforts to the Sci-Squad and Inspired by Science programs, both of which were created to inspire curiosity and teach students science in a creative way.
The children explored the properties of matter and liquids, working to create giant soap bubbles.
Outside chemistry exploded. Vinegar and baing soda powered the rocket launch of a three liter soda bottle. And the students left a bit sticky after an eruption of soda induced by menthol mints.
