Join us as ScienceTellers shares an original collection of slightly
twisted tales where all the teachers at school are suspected to
have superpowers! We will launch things through the air, send
them plummeting toward the ground, and even make things
transform and disappear right before your eyes! Throw on your
lab coat and get ready to experience forces and reactions
