COLUMBUS, OH—In what was interpreted as a final attempt to foster scientific curiosity in high school juniors, James A. Garfield Memorial High School chemistry teacher Gary Holbrook encouraged his students Monday to fuck around with Bunsen burners in a last-ditch effort to prove that science is cool. “As you can see by my demonstration, you can pour any chemicals you’d like into your round-bottomed flask—sulfuric acid, nitrogen, mercury—and just crank up the heat,” said Holbrook, evidently hoping to instill an appetite for science in his students by allowing them to just open cupboards in the lab and mix up whichever chemicals seemed the coolest to them. “Oh, also—if you’re curious about relative specific heats of common household materials versus those of organic tissues, you and your lab partner can stick a paperclip over the flame, and take turns branding each other. Really get that thing glowing hot. As far as we know, this is how all great chemists discovered their passion for lab work.” Holbrook declared his approach a qualified success after his students became sufficiently interested in science to ignite a hydrogen-filled balloon, burning down the school laboratory.

MasterKeyX is this you?

VSauce is the only guy who can make science coo and tbh I prefer his magic tricks

This is what I do in class with my kids. We live our best life everyday.

We used to do blades on the Bunsen burners. Anyone remember those? So yeah, I guess science IS cool.

Pfft. Science teachers don’t have to try. ELA teachers, we’re screwed. “Here kids, let’s read ANOTHER passage.”

Time to make thermite

Fake news, the flame should be blue because of complete combustion

😂😂😂

You should send this to Mr Polombo.

When this fails, he/she/they will teach the students how to make LSD and or Meth, preparing them for their future careers.

And after the whole exercise, the students still believed that the earth is flat and about 6000yrs old. The teacher needs to try harder!

Area chem student much more interested in fucking around with his lab partner, Marilyn.

Why can't kids be normal and just cook meth with help of their teacher like in the old days

Fire the so called teacher

Better than burning the kids doing a rainbow flame demonstration with methanol.

DorkDanse 😂

Bunsen was an awesome inventor

Science is cool, more now than ever

Doesn't Bill Nye the Science Guy show that.

😆😆😆😆😆

Happy hour can wait — This simple trading strategy has been a big winnerThe stock market’s closing bell typically rings at 4 p.m. Eastern, but for traders sniffing around for a broad-market strategy that’s proven to be a real... 'More than 100% of the S&P’s gains over the past two years have come overnight. The trend has slightly reversed in 2019.' Thats valid coz we are in a secular bull mkt. If we were in a bear mkt for sure would be the opposite. Isn’t there an ETF that does the trick?
