Learning Is Fun


What are we working on in class these days? I'm glad you asked that. I'll tell you. In freshman science, we've been talking about molecules and chemical reactions recently--so we made rock candy (crystals) in connection with our study. This student's came out better than any one that I've ever seen--it probably weighed about a half-pound. Mmm, sugar.

In addition, since chemical reactions also include oxidization (i.e. fire), we're watching a fascinating NOVA video about a serial arsonist. You can read more about the bizarre case of fireman John Orr here--truth really is stranger than fiction.
