Science Club: In the Science Wing

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Science Club! I thought we could continue having meetings on Mondays. If anyone wants to change the date or sponsor an event, drop me a note.

If you missed the sign-ups for Science Club, we're still taking new members. We'll be having a weekly meeting with an activity until after Homecoming, and then we will also start planning for the Science Fair.

Please make sure you are on the list so you can get credit. Thanks!

Today, we are going to do another experiment... Lab Glassblowing. I've lined up all the materials you need, follow the tutotials and ask if you have any questions.

Oh, and per the new rules, this week you can't make any rayguns or other weapons. And per our equalsmcsquared's rules, NO BONGS. Don't tell me it is a vase. I'm not stupid.

Please post your completed project here. We'll take photos and make a bulletin board for the class! Thanks everyone. Torches are over there.

[OOC: Slow-play to your heart's content. Post a photo of your glass piece here. Don't hotlink directly, but a regular link works. Use Google Image Search if you're stuck for ideas.]

Broots glances at the project and sighs. "Bother."

I know, it isn't as much fun as last week and blowing things up. But we do get to play with fire, so it isn't so bad. I figured with the current climate of the school - better play it safe this week, you know?

"Nah, I just prefer theory to practice."

Allie comes in to the meeting and smiles at Lisa.

"Hey, what happened to you on Thursday? We still need to figure out what we're doing for our project in Starting a Small Business."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I had a really bad day in the clinic and had a meltdown. Did you have any ideas?

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

"Is everything okay now?"

"And I really couldn't come up with anything that wasn't medical related. I was thinking either a pharmaceutical company or a clinic or something."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just needed a little time. We could do a small pharmacy, a clinic is strange when it comes to collecting funds and a pharmaceutical company sounds like a lot of work, although we could do a marketing plan for a new drug which would be cool. What do you think?

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

"Marketing for a new drug would be interesting. I wonder if Ms. Gilmore-Danes would let that count since its not technically starting a new business?"


[ooc: it would totally count... ]

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Do we want to be the pharmaceutical company, or the marketing company? The first might play to our strengths a bit more, and might be more specific, but I'm okay with both.

[allie-cameron.livejournal.com]

Let's go with the first. I think it'll benefit us both more for the future anyway.


[ooc: you on AIM? want to check something with you]

[lady-jessica-bg.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm not on the list yet, but I signed up a little while ago, so I'll do the experiment anyway:

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

I just added you to the list. Nice project :) Thanks for joining!

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

*Sigh* I guess I'll do the glassblowing. Though I was really looking forward to using this as an excuse to fiddle with my toxin.

There, happy now?

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

I don't know what the regulations are with toxins here, but maybe we could do a project with them next time.

And I like your piece. Thanks for coming again. :)

*sticks her head into the room quickly*

Lisa? Sorry I can't make it tonight; I've just got back from Colorado Springs, and I've got to get to a yearbook meeting. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

No problem! Get some rest, it has been a long day. I'll catch you later.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I will do! I just won't drink coffee now, or I'll be up all night! See you later

Having missed last week's meeting due to not hearing about it until afterwards Thomasina has made a point of not only showing up but also being early this week. When she sees the supplies laid out for the project, she is a bit confused but decides that she's willing to try whatever it is they are to do at least once. Soon she has found that the lungpower needed is beyond her corseted ability, however, so she slips off to a girls' loo to do a bit of a quick change - allowing herself to go uncorseted in public for the first time since she turned thirteen. When she comes back, she tries again and is soon turning out a series of delicate, elegant glass spheres of various colours. After a bit of practice she even figures out how to attach little hanging loops to their tops. She thinks they'll look rather pretty hanging in the window of the room she shares with lizzy_turner.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Wow, those are great. Thanks for making it to the meeting, and it was nice to meet you.

After 6 hours of trying (because "I can't do that" is not in my vocabulary):

Wow, that's gorgeous. Definitely worth all the work. *smiles*

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

::smile:: Thanks. But what do I do with it?
