>>VIC MICOLUCCI: SCIENCE CAN BE INTIMIDATING, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL. AND
STUDENTS AT THE RIVER CITY
SCIENCE ACADEMY THINK THAT IT
IS THEIR FUTURE. EVERY DAY
THEY GET TO BE HANDS ON WITH
STEM EDUCATION, SETTING THEM
UP FOR SUCCESS. AND THIS
WEEKEND YOU CAN SEE AMAZING
EXPERIENCES LIVE IN PERSON. SO
THERE’S A FAMILY EVENT STEM
AND HEALTH EXPO. IT’S GOING TO
TAKE PLACE FOR FAMILIES AND
KIDS TO JOIN AND IT IS FREE.
IT’S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IT
CERTAINLY INSPIRING FOR SO
MANY PEOPLE. SO JOINING US
THIS MORNING TO DEMONSTRATE
ITS JUST A FEW OF THEIR
AMAZING EXPERIENCES AND TALK
ABOUT THE FREE EVENT WHERE YOU
CAN SEE THESE EXPERIMENTS IN
PERSON. WE’VE GOT ALL OF THE
STAR STUDENTS, SOME OF THE
BEST IN THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS
ASHLEY CHATTING FROM THE
SCHOOL AND COACH DUSTIN AT THE
END RIGHT OVER THEIR COACH.
WANT TO START WITH YOU. I KNOW
THAT THESE ARE THE BEST OF THE
BEST STATE CHAMPIONS, NATIONAL
CONTENDERS. WE WANT TO GET
STRAIGHT TO WHAT THEY HAVE
RIGHT HERE. YES, YOU ARE RIGHT
THAT WE BROUGHT YOU HERE. THE
BEST TO THOSE FROM GARCIA
SIMENTAL HIGH TODAY THEY ARE
HOLDING THIS STATE TITLE FOR
SCIENCE OLYMPIAD UP.
>> AND ALSO DAY REPRESENT
STATE OF FLORIDA. A FLORIDA
LAST YEAR IN THE NATIONAL
SCIENCE TOURNAMENT. OKAY. SO
THEY’RE SMART. THEY ARE SMART
STUDENTS RIGHT HERE.
CERTAINLY. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE
OUR WATCHING OVER EVERYTHING,
MAKING SURE THAT IT HAPPENS.
AND WE WANT TO SHOW SOME OF
THESE DEMONSTRATIONS, SOME OF
THE SCIENCE WHERE WE STARTING.
>> THANK YOU RIGHT HERE, OK?
DOLLAR FRESHMAN, BY THE WHAT
ARE WE LOOKING AT? THIS IS AN
ELECTRIC MOTORS. SO THIS IS
COPPER WIRE WITH ONE LOOP.
THESE ARE JUST SOME BATTERIES
AND THE SWITCH IS GOING TURN
ON OFF OUR ELECTRIC CURRENT.
THESE ARE ELECTRIC MAGNETS. SO
WHEN YOU TURN. THE WIRE
BEFORE, DO SPEND WANT TO TRY
SOMETHING MUCH MORE IS GOING
TO TURN IT ON WITH ELECTRIC.
YOU GOING TO KEEP GOING. THIS
IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU ADD AN
ELECTRIC CURRENT INTO ROOM.
OVER HERE. WHEN YOU ADD
ELECTRIC CURRENT TO AN
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, TREATS
WAS CARTED TORT AND THAT’S
GOING TO MAKE IT CONTINUE TO
SPEND AND SPEND AND SPEND IT
WAS USED IN ANY. MACHINE THAT
HAS A SPINNING PART. SO BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY, ELECTRIC
CARS. SO THAT ALL RIGHT, THAT
WAS HIGH SO YOU ARE GOING TO
DESIGN THE NEXT ELECTRIC CAR
FOR US. ONE THAT HOPEFULLY NOT
$80,000 SO THAT WE CAN BUY IT
NOW OVER HERE. I HOPE THAT’S
SUPPOSED TO BE ON I JUST
LOOKED UP AND ALSO I SAW ONE
IS PRETTY COOL. THIS IS CALLED
YOU PEARMAN.
>> AND AS YOU CAN SEE ALREADY
STARTED. BUT WE HAVE THESE
THINGS CALLED CALCIUM LOOKING
AT TO TABLETS. AND WHEN YOU
APPLY HEAT FIRE IN OUR CASE
THAT REACTS WITH OXYGEN IN THE
AIR AGAINST OXIDIZE WHICH
RELEASES CARBON DIOXIDE AND
WATER VAPOR AND CALCIUM OXIDE
AND CARBON AND THE GASES PUSH
UP THE SUBSTANCES CREDIT,
WHICH ARE MUCH LESS DENSE. SO
THEIR VOLUMES WAY GREATER. SO
IT MAKES US LIKE SNAKE LOOKING
AS PERFORM SUH.
>> THERE’S A GO. IT COULD A
DEUCE AS WELL. THIS GUY’S JUST
LIKE I JUST WANTED TO
EXPERIMENT WITH FIRE FORCE
ONE. I JUST WANT TO LIGHT
SOMETHING ON FIRE. FINALLY
OVER HERE. NOT FINALLY. BUT
NEXT OVER HERE, WE’VE GOT I
GOT TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE
SAYING. SO THIS IS IT’S
BASICALLY LIKE MAGIC.
>> I’M GOING TO GET THIS 440
HERTZ TUNING FORK AND I’M
GOING TO HIT IT. AND BECAUSE
BOTH OF THESE TUNING FORKS ARE
TUNED UP 440 HERTZ, WHICH IS
THE NATURAL FREQUENCY THEY ARE
GOING TO MAKE THIS PING PONG
BALL MOVE WITHOUT EVEN
TOUCHING IT. ALL RIGHT.
♪
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, I’M NOT
TOUCHING IT. BUT THE
VIBRATIONS ARE TRAVELING
THROUGH THE AIR.
>> MAKING A PING PONG BALL
MOVE. ALRIGHT, REALLY, REALLY
INTERESTING RIGHT THERE. BY
THE WAY, I JUST GOT TO GIVE
YOU A SHOUT OUT BECAUSE YOU
JUST GOT ACCEPTED. MIT, ONE OF
THE MOST DIFFICULT SCHOOLS IN
THE NATION TO GET INTO SUNDAY.
SO THAT’S REALLY INCREDIBLE.
AND THEN. A LOOK AT THIS. THIS
THING RIGHT HERE. LOOKS LIKE
YOUR TYPICAL CHAIN SET RIGHT?
>> ALL RIGHT. SO THIS
EXPERIMENT IS EXAMPLE OF
ELECTROMAGNETISM, WHICH WAS
ORIGINALLY DISCOVERED BY HANS
OR SON. SO HE WAS SENDING AN
ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH A
WIRE AND HE REALIZED AT A
NEARBY COMPASS NEEDLE WAS
MOVING. SO THIS LED TO THE
DISCOVERY THAT BY SENDING THE
ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH A
WIRE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE A
MAGNETIC FIELD. SO BY PUTTING
9 MINUTES ON EACH END OF THIS
BATTERY, WE’RE ABLE TO PRODUCE
ONE OF THESE MAGNETIC FIELDS
AND PUSH THE BOUNDARY THROUGH
THIS COPPER WIRE COMING OUT
THE OTHER. AND REALLY, AS PUT
IT IN HERE. GETS A LITTLE
SPECK ON THE CORNERS. BUT IT
WILL SEND ALL THE WAY
THROUGHOUT LIKE THAT.
>> NEVER KNEW THAT ABOUT THE
BATTERY. SO THAT’S REALLY
INCREDIBLE. ASHLEY, I KNOW
THAT YOU’RE WORKING BEHIND THE
SCENES WITH ALL OF THESE
AWESOME STUDENTS. TELL ME
ABOUT THE EVENT THIS WEEKEND
BECAUSE IT’S OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC. IT’S GREAT FOR.
>> KIDS OF ALL AGE. YEAH. SO

FAMILY EVENT THIS WEEKEND. OUR
CSA, INNOVATION CAMPUS LOCATED

STUDENT ACTIVITIES, AND A

TO GO TO SPACE. AND BY THE
WAY, THERE’S SO MANY OTHER
STUDENTS AT THESE CAMPUSES
THAT ARE IN CLASS RIGHT NOW
THAT COULD BE HERE. BUT
THERE’S JUST A LOT OF BRIGHT
MINDS IN STEM AND CERTAINLY WE
ALL HERE IN THE JACKSONVILLE
AREA CAN BE PROUD OF YOU. SO
WE’RE GOING TO POST THOSE
DETAILS ON OUR WEBSITE NEWS 4
