Students at Carney Elementary School are serious about science.
Last week 150 kids and their families joined staff from the Maryland Science Center for the school's first-ever Family Science Night, according to an email from school principal Stacey Durkovic.
"Students learned about chemical reactions by making Alka-Seltzer 'rockets,' experienced the work of a paleontologist by searching for real fossils, and used the scientific method to identify 'mystery powders," Durkovic wrote.
