Harris' Heroes: Maryland kids give up recess to learn science

Students at a Maryland elementary school are giving up their recess to learn science. The "Chemistry Club" is held only once a month, but it's already having an impact.

At Dayton Oaks Elementary School in Howard County, budding young chemists are getting instructions for their next experiment. They will test whether certain certain household products are acids or bases using red cabbage.

But this is not your average fourth grade science class. Patricia Takahara is a college chemistry professor and a volunteer science coach with the American Chemical Society. Once a month, she comes to the school to do experiments with the students.

    Why is it that nobody comments about this story? Is it because the school is across the Bay? Involves students that want to learn and a volunteer that wants to promote science? This should be an example to all of you on how to help rather than complain.
