Herrick is perhaps best known for the Cool Chemistry show; her students go to elementary and middle schools to spread the good word about science.

Then they are able to take that, and take that next step and apply it to real world situations. In the real world, Herrick and her students have sent an experiment to the International Space Station and will soon package another experiment for NASA that will be launched on June 6. During her tenure at Shawnee, students have gained an average of four points on the science ACT test. Herrick … Continue reading →
