"Science Day with Mr. J" at Iola Village Library

Excerpt: Who knew science could be so much fun?

As Mark Janssen, aka Mr. J., a science teacher from Little Chute High School, lay on a bed of nails to demonstrate pressure and froze a flower with liquid nitrogen to instantly make it crumble Tuesday, about 50 children from Iola learned science is a little like magic.

"How is it doing that?" several children yelled to Janssen during his "Science Day With Mr. J." presentation at the Iola Village Library.

His show was part of the library's summer programming, which aims to keep kids learning even though school is out.
