FRSICO (CBSDFW.COM) - A science experiment involving chemicals sent one Frisco middle school student to the hospital.

Another student and teacher at Roach Middle School, 12499 Independence Parkway, were also injured during the 'flash fire.' The explosion did not cause a sustainable fire inside the school.

Firefighters say the students were using stronium cloride, methyl alcohol and a stick lighter for a burning salts experiment.

One student was airlifted by CareFlite to Parkland Hospital. The other student and teacher were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
