Storm chaser and research meteorologist Jon Davies brought new excitement to talking about the weather during his presentation as the keynote speaker for Jack Kilby Science Day on Tuesday morning at Barton Community College.About 400 high school juniors and seniors from all across the state made the trek to BCC to participate in a plethora of activities focused on science and its application to the real world. One of the ever-popular event’s strengths lies in the variety of experiences students can have in a short time span. From watching dry ice inflate a balloon and seeing an ultrasound of a pregnant pit bull, to extracting DNA from strawberries, this year was no exception.Chemistry teacher Pat Stiles of Central Plains High School has brought his students to every Jack Kilby Science Day since its inception eight years ago.
