Wrapped up quantum theory and light equations just in time. I guess that makes Jalen a MHz! @JalenHurts

The data is in for the calibration using a benzoic acid standard. The @VernierST wide range temperature probe was the perfect size.

It's a half-life sort of day. Thanks to Spectrum Techniques' @ORNL isotope generator and @VernierST 's radiation probe, you can watch several half-lives of Ba-137m in under 10 minutes. I can live with 4.3% error.

We have @VernierST platinum-cell conductivity probes, so I said come back in flex. He did! The data beautifully shows the consumption of our I- catalyst but then the regeneration of our I- catalyst. Chemistry- where the textbook comes to LIFE!

After discussing the kinetics of reaction mechanisms with catalysts and seeing a picture in the textbook (@pearson) of the decomposition of H2O2 catalyzed by NaBr, a student asked if we could measure the concentration of the ion catalyst.

Got Gas? Thanks to a grant from the #WarwickEducationFoundation (#WEF), Warwick does. Students performed a crime scene analysis using a @VernierST MiniGC Plus.

It was giving him a headache. It quieted down. Problem solved AND I got to learn about restoring yards to natural habitats.

I came up with a new classroom management strategy for my study hall today. After an initial warning that it was getting too loud, I turn on @nprscience @WITF . After each additional warning, I turn up the volume. After about 15 minutes, one student asked if we could turn it off.

It’s a GREAT day for column chromatography while my students do their paper chromatography food dye lab. The maple tree in the background is where I got the green leaves 🍃 🍁 for this activity.
