Extreme Science at the Robert W. Carbonaro Elementary School in Valley Stream

Posted

Students at the Robert W. Carbonaro Elementary School attended a comedy science performance on Oct. 11 by Hagerman the Magician.

The two-man show included music and several science experiments. Magician David Hagerman, of Extreme Science, used a 700,000 volt Van de Graaff generator in the performance, which creates 10-15 inch lightning bolts and enough static to raise students’ hair.

Students also witnessed “vortex cannons,” created by manipulating the air into flying rings of fog and floating beach balls.
