Volume up for some combustion reaction ASMR!

This “burning ice” effect starts with calcium carbide reacting with water in the ice, producing acetylene gas and releasing heat. The acetylene then combusts, creating the flames you see 🧊🔥

⚠️ DO NOT try this at home. This reaction should only be performed by trained professionals in a controlled setting.

We know, we know... pumpkin season just started. 🎃 But once your jack-o'-lantern has had a good run, it's time to let it fly.

Send your pumpkin sailing off MSC's roof at our annual Pumpkin Smash on Sunday, Nov. 1 from 10am-1pm!

All smashed pumpkins will be composted after the event. Last year, we collected and composted approximately 1,200 pounds of pumpkin!

There was no escaping Beetlejuice on Friday night at our Grown Up Field Trip: Beetlejuice!

How many times did you spot him? 3 times in each clip, perhaps? Weird. There’s just something about Beetlejuice and the number 3… 🤔
