New York Daily News Chicago teacher found guilty of pouring liquid nitrogen on student during science experiment KATE FELDMAN
A Chicago teacher has been convicted of a 2018 science experiment that left a student with burns to his groin and finger.
Garry Broderson, a 66-year-old former Bartlett High School chemistry teacher, was performing a demonstration for his class on May 15, 2018 during which he poured liquid nitrogen (at -320 degrees F.) on a student’s chest and groin area.
The student, who had volunteered to participate but did not understand the risks involved, sustained burns, according to the state’s attorney’s office.
“Mr. Brodersen displayed extremely poor judgement when he doused a student with a dangerous chemical during a science demonstration,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.
Broderson was charged with reckless conduct and endangering the health or life of child and was found guilty on both counts, the state’s attorney’s office announced Wednesday.
He will be sentenced next week.
Brodersen quit his job and voluntarily surrendered his teaching certificate in June 2018, according to the Chicago Tribune.
I remember seeing a demonstration once where a piece of lettuce was doused in liquid refrigerant and thrown on the ground where it shattered like glass. And this teacher is pouring this type shit on a student's chest and crotch? DAMN!

The only time my chemistry teacher asked to do an experiment with my crotch it was consensual and they didn't use liquid nitrogen.
I remember that, it was the day they busted out the microscopes
