The 1996-97 Jefferson Lab BEAMS program is off to a flying start. The year started the week of September 30 with 6th graders from Huntington Middle School in Newport News. The students took a tour of the lab, participated in a slow bicycle race, performed experiments with liquid nitrogen, and tested the flight of paper airplanes (left). This year the education program will host 54 classes from 10 schools in Newport News, Hampton, York County, and Williamsburg/James City County.
