One of the best parts about being a student as a teenager is you’re able to take part in so many cool educational and developmental experiences, such as joining the debate team or really digging into your scientific interests and exploring physics and biology. Unfortunately, for one high school student in Ohio, a science experiment she recently took part in at school went wrong and resulted in a dangerous fire. Sadly, she walked away with severe burns on over 40% of her body.
A science experiment went horribly wrong and resulted in the teen being badly burned.
According to The Independent, the 15-year-old was airlifted to the hospital on May 13, 2026, from Greeneview Middle School in Jamestown, Ohio, which shares the same campus as Greeneview High School, after a school science experiment went tragically wrong and caused a fire.
The student’s name is Chloe Walker, according to the GoFundMe page that’s been set up to assist with costs from the accident.
Out of respect for the family and the difficult road ahead, specific details about the incident are not being shared. According to the GoFundMe page, though, Chloe “faces a long road to recovery both physically and emotionally.”
It appears other students were injured during this science experiment as well.
After the science experiment went drastically wrong, all students and staff were evacuated immediately, according to The Independent…
