Science Experiments: Creating Elephant Toothpaste
SUMMARY: During summer, science teacher Lexi Morgan from Madison Middle shares a fun at-home experiment: creating elephant toothpaste. Using simple household items—instant yeast (blue kind), water, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and food coloring—kids can watch an exothermic reaction that produces heat and foam. The yeast acts as a catalyst breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, while soap traps oxygen to form foam. The experiment is quick, messy, and visually exciting, often done in class around Halloween using a carved pumpkin. It’s a great indoor activity that combines fun with learning about chemical reactions.

6/2/25- Election Day weather looks good… just hot
SUMMARY: Election Day weather will be mostly clear but hot, with highs in the low 90s and heat index values possibly reaching the mid-90s. Smoke from Canadian wildfires may cause some haze, though air quality remains mostly good, with moderate levels expected tomorrow. Sensitive individuals should stay cautious. The jet stream’s position keeps temperatures above average and rain chances low, but an upper-level low off Florida may bring spotty showers Wednesday and Thursday. There is a very low chance of a subtropical or tropical system forming near Florida, named Andrea, but it won’t affect the local area. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m., with weather cooperating for voting.
