Eight children feel sick during an experiment in the science classroom at Higashi-Wakahisa Elementary School in Minami Ward, Fukuoka, on Thursday.
According to the police and the Fukuoka City Fire Department, a call came in around 10:30 a.m. Thursday. Four male and four female fourth graders reportedly each fell ill after they inhaled gas from a gas canister because their cassette stove did not light.
A doctor examined and checked them in a first aid room at the school.
