King5 story on Einstein students' space experiment

Our news partner King 5 did a story that ran on the evening news Wednesday, as well as on the King5.com website about the Highland Terrace (now Einstein) students whose science experiment was chosen to go into space.

"They designed an experiment, with the help of their teacher, Peggy Nordwall, and scientist-mentor, Jacqui Rublee, about crystal growth and impurities in microgravity."

"It’s a simple experiment with huge implications.  If the crystals remain pure in microgravity, “it means you can use it for super conductors and semi conductors,” said (student Jack) Parkinson."
