On February 4 (2/4/14), students from the St. Francis “ROCK”
program came to work with and present their program to Mr. Wagner’s Chemistry
classes. “ROCK” stands for Rural
Outreach Chemistry for Kids and is an excellent program to get high school
students interested in science oriented college programs and careers. Three of Mr. Wagner’s former Chemistry
students, Christopher Evans, Sabrina Blake, and Tim Shoff, came back to Central
Cambria to present the program. A former
Bedford student, Rebecca Krupa, also helped present the “ROCK” program. The St. Francis students performed
demonstrations and hands on activities with the students involving liquid
nitrogen, the gas laws, and superconductivity.
The students absolutely loved the program and took a real interest in
the hands on chemistry that was being presented. Mr. Wagner and his students would also like
to thank Mrs. McDermott for allowing the St. Francis students to come in and
present the “ROCK” program.
