Chemistry professor Charlie Scaife's hands-on science programs have
reached about 900 teachers and 25,000 students since he and his wife, Priscilla, took to
the road in 1994 to bring the excitement of science to elementary schools.
In that time, the Scaifes have visited about 80 schools. On Thursday,
they were adding to that total with a visit at the Saratoga Independent School.
Scaife was profiled in a recent story in the Christian Science
Monitor. Reporter Ron Sherer accompanied the Scaifes and senior Louis Carrazzone for
classroom demonstrations and an evening experiment program at Elm Drive Elementary in
Millbrook, N.Y., Carrazzone's alma mater.
