Michigan —Ben Roy’s mobile “Science Zone” came to Battle Creek Academy (BCA), enabling students and teachers to witness spectacular demonstrations of physical and chemical science. Dazzled by the “magic” of science that Roy reveals during the show, students were amazed as they watched a hydrogen gas rocket lift off before their eyes, a liquid nitrogen cannon, and much more.

BCA senior Tana VanderWaal commenting on the show said, “I have never seen anyone blow anything up before, so it was really interesting for me. It was a lot of fun to see chemistry in action.”

Ben Roy came to the Battle Creek area from Calhoun, Ga. He has been a grades 1–8 classroom teacher for 28 years. Roy teaches science methods for the University of Tennessee and is also an adjunct professor at Southern Adventist University. He is the regional coordinator for the Tennessee Environmental Education Association, and is a teacher resource agent for the American Astronomical Society.
