Myra: SKY 12 HIGH OVER
GUSTAFSON STADIUM AND YOU MIGHT
BE ASKING YOURSELF WHAT AM I
LOOKING AT HERE?
THE ANSWER IS A WORLD RECORD.
THIS IS THE LARGEST PERIODIC
TABLE IN THE WORLD.
IT HAS JUST BEEN ASSEMBLED AND
NOW IT IS BEING UNVEILING.
JUSTIN HORNE IS DOWN ON THE
FIELD AND HE'S GOING TO FILL US
IN ON WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
JUSTIN, WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?
Justin: MYRA, IT IS ALL
ABOUT SCIENCE.
BEHIND ME THERE IS EVERYTHING
FROM ALUMINUM TO NEON.
IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WORLD'S
LARGEST PERIODIC TABLE.
HOW DID ALL THIS HAPPEN?
IT STARTED AS AN IDEA BY A GROUP
OF SCIENTISTS.
THEY WANTED TO REACH OUT TO THE
KIDS AND TEACH THEM ABOUT
SCIENCE IN A WAY THAT WAS ABLE
TO CATCH THEIR ATTENTION.
118 CLASSROOMS WERE ASSIGNED AN
ELEMENT TO ADD TO THIS GIANT
PERIODIC TABLE.
WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE U.T.
HEALTH SCIENCE HERE WE WERE ABLE
TO PROVIDE TARPS AND PAINT TO
118 SCHOOLS AND EACH SCHOOL WAS
ASSIGNED ONE ELEMENT.
AND THEY PUT IT TOGETHER AND
WE'RE OUT HERE ASSEMBLING IT
RIGHT NOW.
AND SO THOSE CLASSROOMS THAT PUT
THESE TOGETHER FOR US ARE GOING
TO MEET UP WITH US AND WE'RE
GOING TO ASSEMBLE THE WORLD'S
LARGEST PERIODIC TABLE OF
ELEMENTS.
DID YOU GUYS HAVE FUN DOING
THIS?
YES.
I GOT TO WORK WITH MY FRIENDS
AND IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
WE GOT TO TALK, HANG OUT, AND
PAINT.
IT WAS A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE.
Justin: SO NOT ONLY DID
THEY LEARN A LOT HERE THEY ALSO
HAD FUN.
THOSE TAFT KIDS WERE RESPONSIBLE
FOR HELIUM, AN ELEMENT THAT
THESE DAYS IS IN LOW SUPPLY.
BACK OUT HERE LIVE, WE'RE
LOOKINGS AT ZENON HERE.
THAT WAS DONE BY JONES.
THIS IS KRYPTON FROM PEACE
ELEMENTARY FROM NISD.
WHO DOESN'T LOVE KRYPTON?
