fandomhigh | Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

The science lab looks like your standard high school science lab. Lab benches in two neat rows faced a larger lab bench and chalkboard at the front of the room. There was a large open space between the last lab bench and the back row of counters and cabinets that held the assembled detritus of science!. Various projects cluttered the counters lining the classroom. A large window was propped slightly open. Those who were a few minutes early got to witness Ms Frizzle's arrival, which involved two bounces, a spin, and finished with her standing on tiptoe on foot, pointing dramatically away with a lizard clinging to her shoulder.

Today, the Friz was wearing a dress covered in, well, science!. Test tubes, flasks, atoms, cells, mathematical constants, and even a couple of planets formed the print, and bacteriophages hung from her ears.

"Good afternoon, class!" she announced, striking another little pose as Liz scrambled down from her shoulder to the safety of the lab bench and collected a stack of papers. "Welcome to Science! I hope you're all as excited about this course as I am! My name is Ms Frizzle, and this is my assistant, Liz!"

Liz waved.

"Liz is handing around the syllabus for the course and as you can see, I haven't planned a lesson for us today! I always enjoy classes so much more when I know who I'm teaching, so time for a few introductions. I am Ms Frizzle, as I said. I used to teach at Walkerville Elementary School and I love teaching science! I'm a big fan of field trips and I hope you'll get plenty of hands-on experience in this class! My favourite thing about science is figuring out how things work!"

She bounced and spun in place before clasping her hands under her chin excitedly. "Your turn! I'm sure you're sick of introductions, but tell me your name, where you're from, your favourite thing about science and whatever else you want! Also, I'm in need of a teaching assistant! If you're interested, please speak to me after class!"

[[OCD ~~a-comin'~~ up! Yes, it's labelled 'Everyone to the bus!' but just sign in like usual. Now that LJ has stopped eating my OCD.]]

But not for another lesson yet!

Embarrassing personal details welcome!

Or waylay the Liz, if that's your thing.

Because everything's better with exclamation points!

Turtle Wexler

Turtle was still a little wide-eyed about the teacher at the end of class; except for the whole being little and a redhead, the resemblance was...almost disturbing. There were no crutches, but Turtle had to ask. She just had to.

"This might sound like a weird question, Ms. Frizzle, but you're not Polish, are you?"

Please, please don't let her science teacher be Sydelle Pulaski Lite. Please, please, please.

Nova

"I'm Turtle Wexler," Turtle said. "I'm from boring Westingtown, Wisconsin and I like science because...ummm..." Her nose wrinkled a bit. Saying that it was because it was a class her mother wouldn't complain about or that she could possibly learn to make explosives didn't seem like good ideas. "It's fun?"

"I'm Nova from Karakura, Japan."

He thought for a long time about what his favorite thing about science could be. Finally he decided, "Science created me."

He felt it was as good an answer as any.

hikaru hitachiin

"I'm Hikaru Hitachiin," He couldn't help but eye Turtle a few times as he spoke, "and I'm from Tokyo, Japan. I like Science because... I like knowing how things work?" He tapped his chin for a second. Yeah, that should be okay.. "Something interesting... I like spicy food."

Sokka

This was Turtle, glaring at Hikaru the whole time and thinking about what made everything he said stupid.

To make this...Science with an exclaimation point more exciting than 'the science class that failed' last semester, perhaps he needed to get a little more involved. So, after class, Hikaru made his way over to Ms Frizzle to ask about that teacher's assistant spot.

"Unless you have someone else in mind, I'm interested in the teacher's assistant....job...thing." He offered, not really sure how to approach something he'd never done before.

The glaring went ignored through his little introduction, but as soon as he sat down, Hikaru was ready to counter her glare with his own.

He should have added that he hated stupid, braided girls onto the end of that.

"Sokka. From the South Pole." Sokka grinned. The lady was insane, but, well, she was insane for science.

"My favorite thing about science is..." Ancient astrolabes. Hot air balloons. Stink bombs. Boomerang aerodynamics. "...using it to do nifty stuff."

Cindy Mackenzie.

"I'm Mac, from Neptune, California," she said simply. "I like technology, and science is all kinda a part of that."

After watching the glaring for a few moments, Sokka leaned over and gave Twinboy a sharp, friendly thwap on the back.

"You should give her some curry," he whispered, and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Gah! What was up with kids and smacking him?! He turned back to look at Sokka, letting his bottom lip jut out a little in thought. "I dunno if that'd work..." He whispered back, "She kicks really hard..."

But... maybe he was right. Curry was the food of the gods. Maybe it could even tame her.

"Wonderful!" Ms Frizzle clapped her hands together. "Hikaru, yes? Why do you want the position?" She asked this cheerfully, and wouldn't be offended by any answer.

"Nope!" she replied cheerfully. "I'm from the Midwest!"

"Exactly!" she said, bouncing enthusiastically. "You'll certainly enjoy this class, then!"

"How fascinating, Nova! Of course, science created all of us. Isn't biology wonderful?"

"The South Pole!" The Friz bounced. "As my cousin Scott said, 'I go South for the sun but I forget about the snow!' And we'll be doing lots of nifty stuff in this class." Her earrings lit up for a moment.
