It's time to put the magic back into the classroom. For more than 16 years running, the Minot State University Science Department is hosting an open house tomorrow that will include biology and geology displays on all three floors or Cyril Moore Hall, and the most popular display, the annual chemistry magic show.

Around 800 students within a 100 mile radius bus in for a full day of science activity. Starting at 9 a.m., the forty minute magic show will run every hour on the hour with the final show starting at 3 p.m. While schools will take in the daytime displays, the science department would like to invite the public to the 3 p.m. magic show. There, you will witness chemical reactions that cause displays of light and sound that are most easily explained as magic.

(Guy Hanley, Minot State University Science Department) "We get students interested in science. They see things on YouTube that you probably shouldn't do in your garage that we are actually able to do here. So they get to see demonstrations first hand that they probably wouldn't be able to see."

Again, the chemistry magic show is at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at MSU's Cyril Moore Hall, room 16.
