Grand Trip To See Grand Hank!!


03 March 2011 by K. Jones, D. Jeffries, S. Bonner, & R. Clark (Rm 21)
Students from University City Promise Academy went to see the Grand Hank Science Show on Saturday, February 26. Students and teachers went by school bus from West Philadelphia to Mt. Airy. It took a long time to get there, because the bus driver was lost.
The Grand Hank studio was one large room. In the front of the room was a stage. Grand Hank and the DJ were on the stage. We liked the music that the DJ played. We had to say, “DJ, HIT THAT BEAT! for him to play rap music.
Grand Hank taught us that roaches run when they hear your footsteps, not because of light. He lit a stick and put it in a bottle to show implosion. Grand Hank had a girl put her hand in a bowl of white liquid. When she took her hand out he wiped her hand on paper. The paper had her handprint with blood on it. Grand hank taught us about African American scientists and inventors. He told us about the light bulb, computers, and the traffic light.
Grand Hank told us that he and his wife graduated from Uni-versity City High School. He worked as a scientist. He invented the liquid to take your blood. Now he is a rich man.
