Science! Thursday, Period 7

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. It was once again time for Hikaru to teach the class in place of Ms. Frizzle.

“Once again, the Frizz is out today.” Hikaru sat on her desk, chin raised at the assembled class. “But we get to do something a lot less complicated today. We’re making balloon cars.” He started tossing empty milk cartons at people, so hoping one would smack Turtle in the head on its way through the air. “The handouts say you only need half of one of these… so find a partner or something and make them.” He hops of the desk, waving his hand dismissively at everyone. This weeks lesson wasn’t all that exciting, so he couldn’t really come up with anything too strange to do with it.

“Of course, if you’d like to propel your car with something much better than air…” He grinned. “I totally snagged some extra supplies.” And with that, he left the front of the class to go play with the vinegar, baking soda, coke, and mentos he’d grabbed on the way to class.

Write your name, and what the outside of your racecar would look like if you had one.

Valentine, who would probably paint his racecar up to look like riches. Lots of riches. Yay, riches!

Nova, who has a car with a turtle (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/bleach/littlenova.jpg), a bird (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/bleach/12.jpg), and some other thing (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i257/Conejitablue/bleach/Thatthing.jpg)...

The Lecture?

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Not much of a lecture, once again... dodge milk cartons I suppose.

Re: The Lecture?

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine was looking around the room throughout the lecture.

Mostly because he was paranoid as to how many other students would notice that he's wearing a bedsheet in lieu of pants today.

Re: The Lecture?

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Dude. How could someone not notice? Hikaru gave him a very confused look after he was done explaining what they were to do. "Were...you in a hurry today?"

Building of the Cars

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Supplies from the handout are available on a few desks.

This does not include the 'special' supplies, but does include more cartons, scissors, glue, spools, straws, straight pins, balloons, some rubber bands, glitter, and markers....in case one would want to actually make their dream racecars.

Re: Building of the Cars

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine saw glue. And balloons. And scissors. And, although the handout was rather straightforward, it appeared that Valentines did not do handouts.
So he settled for dabbling in the glue for a while before seeing how long it would take for the markers to stick to his hands while he juggled them. That seemed far more interesting, anyhow.

Re: Building of the Cars

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru watched the little show he was putting on, hoping that a glue-covered marker would fall and stick itself to his face..mask..thing.

Re: Building of the Cars

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

It wasn't until she realized she needed a green marker that Turtle noticed that someone seemed to have them all (except for a few that didn't work very well). And was juggling them. It also wasn't until she went over to Valentine did Turtle remember that he still needed to be kicked for the panty theft.

So, promptly, her foot went crashing into his leg and she said, "I need a green marker."

Re: Building of the Cars

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like Hikaru could give Turtle rubber bands and not expect her to shoot them at him. Pretending, of course, to be very into her work the moment they left her hands and went racing toward his head. Hum hum hum, can't prove anything.

Re: Building of the Cars

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Of course, as soon as the first rubber band snapped into the side of his head he immediatly focused a glare at Turtle. Who else would do that?

Re: Building of the Cars

Sokka was a flurry of activity. Ignoring simple airpower, he cut and glued milk cartons into smaller boxes, used straws as pipes, put balloons anywhere that seemed appropriate... And by the end of class, had a pretty serviceable liquid-fuel rocket car (powered by one tank of vinegar and another of baking soda-and-water solution).

Which is painted a deep blue, with a boomerang on one side and a... deformed epileptic spider thing -- which is SUPPOSED to be a sabretooth moose-lion cub -- on the other.

Re: Building of the Cars

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova, though a little distracted by everyone else's creative use of the supplies, started working on his own car, following the directions carefully.

After he was done creating the car, he decorated it. Nova decided to take a few extra balloons and rubber bands for himself, because you never knew when those kinds of things would come in handy.

Re: Building of the Cars

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

A rubber band flew by Nova, landing lamely in front of him. It was intended to hit him in the head, but, when Turtle launched it, she herself was being hit (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1227014.html?thread=71947782#t71947782).

Mac? Not entirely sure how she's going to make one of these cartons look like a Beetle.

Still, she started looking around for green markers, and seemed a little put out that they all seemed to be mysteriously gone.

Special Supplies

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Yes, Hikaru is totally up for making huge coke fountains with these special supplies. If someone were to actually use it in their car? Even better.

Re: Special Supplies

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka -- tongue half out and brow furrowed in deep thought -- comes up to the front several times to swipe more and more and more of the baking soda and vinegar.

Race!

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

....or just run them into walls. Totally cool with him.

If someone was up for setting them on fire, he'd be up for that too.

Re: Race!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

One of the differences between theory and practice is that in theory you've made sure all the joints and couplings are tightly sealed. And waited until the glue was dry. And knew what you were doing.

Sokka set up his spiffy rocket car right by the teacher's desk, aimed it across the room, and opened the valves.

And the car inched forward slowly, spraying large quantities of vinegary foam out of lots of tiny holes, and leaking more foam out of other, larger holes.

Re: Race!

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine figured that he had it made.
After all, who needed silly science-powered foamy cars when one had a juggler's arm?
He grinned, wound up, and tossed his marker "car" across the room, where it stuck firmly to the wall on the other side.
"There," he said with a clap of the hands, which didn't exactly un-stick again afterward, "Science!"

Re: Race!

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

The balloon people go for a ride. Now all Nova needed to do was figure out how to get the car move since he had altered his car (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1227014.html?thread=72015110#t72015110) for artistic purposes.

Talk to Hikaru?

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Cuz every class post seems to have these... and he's totally cool with making fun of your ruined car or congradulating someone on how high their fountain went.

OOC

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

So many OCD! Hee!

Hikaru's dream racecar has godzilla on it. Totally. And it would probably advertise for a coffee brand, like foldgers.

Because it's foldgers in your cuuup~!

Re: OOC

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

The best. Part. a'wakin' up
Is Foldger on...your....car...?
