Chemistry lab is fun.

Just that making the lab reports afterwards, with the equations and stuff--it's just hard. XD

Other than that, Chem is pretty much...fun.

[uNamed2lyfe]

wts so special about the last trick?

[CalvinCollege]

The clever part is how the rag doesn't burn-up because of the rapid evaporation of the fuel (isopropyl alcohol [C3H8O]).

Ha.. all he did was hit a kid in the head with a frozen ball, launch a bottle to a kids face and was about to drop the flaming towel!

These arent that impressive and all of those fifth graders are SOOOOO amazed.

[arlihama]

True. XD But it's some advertising gig, yah know. It's just saying that there are plenty of common things, not so special things, that we take for granted...but it's all thanks to chemistry that they happen.

That's their message. And they want to create a culture of science....and stuff like that. XD I suppose.
