In the nearly four-minute video, Lam is seen acting strangely in the elevator pressing the buttons to multiple floors, flailing her arms, jumping in and out of the elevator while the doors are open.

ask, come? Why? They pick up stuff to examine it. We might not call that science, but discovering the world around Then something happens. we get them in school, we turn science from discovery and hands-on to something supposed to do through rote said Jemison, who was the first African-American woman to travel in space when she flew the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1992. Jemison has teamed up with Bayer Corp. to advance science literacy across the United States by emphasizing the importance of hands-on, inquiry-based learning opportunities in public schools.

Bayer announced recently that it will provide 1 million hands-on science experiences for kids by 2020.
