Short Story Of A Hot Friday

I pipetted the last of the product I created in the most recent trial of the experiment onto a small metal plate, placed the delicate square into a case, and hurried downstairs to the mass spectrometer. After carefully loading the plate and anxiously waiting for the graphs to pop up, my fellow lab mates came over in excitement to view the results of this latest run; we compared the graph with the theoretical yields. I sighed of relief once I realized that this trial had finally created the product necessary to proceed in the experiment. Getting one step closer to solving our problem was so rewarding. Very exciting; makes me want to read on

Everyone has done the volcano science project and I loved making bottles explode with a little baking soda and vinegar, but I wanted more. I spent (and still do) hours watching interesting science experiments ranging from the Pharaoh’s Serpent to precious metal refinery. However, most of the experiments were out of the reach of a young chemist at home. Instead, I looked around for chemical experiments going on around me.

Medieval alchemists “invented new ways to isolate, purify, and concentrate substances” (Challenging Limits). The alchemists established the value of analysis, which was fundamental to what became chemistry. First, it was Antonie de Lavoisier who used the techniques to move into the modern age of chemistry. He started by isolating elements and identifying the basic building blocks of nature. Even Humphry Davy was interested in learning the basic building blocks of nature. Until, in 1898, a new element was discovered that drew many questions to scientists. Radium had glowed in the dark and when photographed seemed to be giving off its own energy. At the time, no one knew that the radium was a deadly poison, which harmed human tissue. However, the effect on photographic plates that radium gave allowed humans to discover x-ray scans. These x-ray scans allow us to diagnose and treat diseases. With all of these elements taken into consideration, scientist began to ask themselves, “what are the elements made

”Honey we are going camping” Mom said. Once everyone was up, we packed our bags and took off. Once we got there I zoomed off to Ashley's campsite to hang out.

The final bell rang and all the kids rushed through the door wanting to get free. Alan met Richie right by his new 2016 Camaro. Everyone adored it, and everyone knew Richie was cool and rich. The drove to Alan’s house and walked inside. They grabbed a snack but Alan wasn’t hungry. He was so nervous about this presentation that he hadn’t been able to think straight all

Of course these demonstrators weren’t from Frankenstein’s lab, but in fourth grade I thought they were. Only when I took AP Chemistry did I learn that this ‘chameleon effect’ was just a simple redox reaction.

He made it out onto the field right behind his class in the nick of time. Mrs. Barrett was going down the line of kids to make sure everyone was there. She stopped and looked around when she got to Sam’s spot in line. “Anyone seen Sam?” she said. No one had seen him until he came running down to the field. Sam got checked in and everything was fine. Everyone was cold in the chilly morning air so when the alarm stopped, they all cheered! All of the classes went back inside after the drill to resume their

He dragged his large duffle bag to the door. He said his goodbyes to his family. He walked to the big green bus that said in bold letters, “FOOTBALL CAMP”. As the door opened, he realized the bus was full of kids his age trying to get into the Western State College Football team. Jonathan was excited but also worried about the camp.The engine started up and the bus was off. As he waved goodbye, he remembered.

The Experimenters goes in depth into the lives of twelve great chemists. Chemistry had been apart of our world since the beginning of time. Chemistry explains why the sky is blue and what makes up our very existence. The twelve chemists discussed in this novel include Antoine Lavoisier, Joseph Priestley, Jons Jacob Berzelius, Justus von Liebig, Dmitri Mendeleyev, Louis Pasteur, Marie and Irene Curie, Linus Pauling, Richard Willstatter, and Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin. Each chapter starts at their birthplace and will take you through the life of the chemist, from greatest discoveries to personal relationships. You will read about the struggles and breakthroughs each chemist

When Renae was younger her mother would always tell her not to play with different chemicals, but she would always find a way to get in trouble for messing with them. Renae looked over at her mother's computer and saw a picture that looked like a jar of jelly but it wasn’t it was something that looked like dark blue goo. Soon as Renew saw that she knew that it was a chemical reaction. “Blue chemicals?” Renae asked her mom.

“The end.” Alex said “wow I never knew that science can be so amazing”said Becca. “Well now your homework is done.” said Alex. “Alex Becca dinners ready!”screamed their mom. “That was close” whispered

Dan was distracted as he boarded his bus away from the living hell that was his high school. His first day back from winter holiday was finally over. Even after a whole semester, he still wasn’t sure why he had to be there. He was a mere 8th grader in a sea of high schoolers, only there because his dumb school system didn’t have a middle school. All he could ever think of was getting away. However, he had a few shining lights in the darkness that was his life, and those were his friends.

It’s 6:45 Monday morning April, 9 in San Antonio, California. Beep, beep, beep sounds Jake’s alarm clock. Jake is tiered from football practice and studing for a math test last night. Jake finds his favorite t-shirt and pants and throws it on. Jake is 14 years old and he is 5 foot 3 inches, Jake is also a sport star. On the down side he gets a lot of B’s and C’s on his tests because he is to focusing on sports. Jake walks down the stairs to a plate of steaming hot bacon, eggs and golden brown pancakes made by his mother. After eating breakfast, Jake walks out the door and hoops onto the school bus where he is greeted by his best friend, Jacob. Jacob is 14 years old and he stands at only 4 foot 11 inches, Jacob is a baseball champion. Like Jake

As Jake entered school on Monday morning he felt something missing. He couldn’t think of what it was because he had his gym clothes, he had his math homework, he had his lunch and he had his social studies project. He couldn’t figure out what was missing, so he searched his bag to see if everything was there. He went through a mental checklist in his head, “Here are my gym clothes, that’s my math homework, and there is my lunch.” Then he finally realized that he didn’t have his big trifold for his social studies project.

Lost to the vision of the general public, in a small town named Yvern, lives a certain individual. A man who strives for nothing more than to advance his scientific understanding of the world, a man who was blinded to the true experiences it could offer him by his own delusional thirst. But the man was nothing but another victim to the desire to progress. Having dedicated his life to research and the discovery of anything that could be useful to the rest of society, he became a pioneer of Alchemy. Alchemy was the recreation of a lost art from times where humans believed in more religious, spiritual things; however those thoughts had all but disappeared. The newfound creation were highly condensed “crystals” of certain compounds, that when processed by an elaborate, but usefully mobile, contraption dubbed an “Amplifier’s Arm” would release the condensed chemicals in the crystal and react with itself. It was used to create crystals that could condense and spread materials (such as clay), to spit fire or spread water, pressurized air, and the possibilities to find new crystals were near infinite.
