 Guys, the results of yesterday's plant quiz were as varied as bombs and ferns. You'd have to be stupid not to waste this one. I bet KB blew it. Cassandra, the only stupid one in this classroom is this poor fellow without a brain. And even he's smart enough to know that your comment is out of line. Hmm, something needs to be done about this. And I know just what to do. Okay guys, today we're mixing it up like an acid in a base. New lab partners! Let's start with our first new pair, Melanie and KB. What are we doing? Studying the effect of sodium bicarbonate on the photosynthesis of alodia. Can you speak English, please? Basically, we're just mixing baking soda and water and feeding it to a plant. This will create carbon dioxide and speed up the plant's growth. Cool, huh? This one needs a little more water. I got it. What did I do? I think you grabbed the vinegar instead. Hmm, looks like someone made a mistake. Uh, actually, Mr. Bittner, Melanie and I were just testing the reactivity of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid. Well, that wasn't exactly the assignment, but all good scientists think outside the beaker. Just remember, safety comes first. Saved by the bell, Mel. See you tomorrow, partner. See you tomorrow, partner.
