Science Club

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

[ooc: lisacuddy just reminded me that I technically now am in charge of Science Club. So, here goes!]

Ahem! Allow me to introduce myself! I am Jonathan Crane, Psychology nerd extraordinare. I'm taking over for lisacuddy, who had to step down for whatever reason. Since I'm new at this whole being head of club thing, I thought I'd start with something simple. Like lighting a strip of magnesium on fire and seeing what happens.

So, everyone, take a strip of magnesium and be very careful with the Bunsen Burner. And please, don't hold the Magesium with your bare hands, use a pair of tongs.

Once you've finished embracing your inner pyromaniac, please fill out the suggestion forms located over there *he points to a stack of blank forms.*

Just put your name and what you'd like to do in Science Club.

"Um, hi, I'm Broots. I've lost all feeling in my ears so you might want to speak up a bit."

*Just to be obnoxious, he shouts at the top of his lungs*

Broots shakes his head. "ALMOST! CAN I JUST CHECK IN FOR TODAY?"

*He raises an eyebrow, nodding*

*He stares at the girl, blinks a few times, scratches his head, opens his mouth to say something, closes it, opens again, and then decides to move on to someone having trouble with their Bunsen burner*

*She doesn't exactly follow, but one might swear she was sitting on a different counter a second ago. One just ever so slightly farther away*

*When he looks up from said Bunsen burner, finally setting it aflame, he noticed Delirium had definitely moved. He blinked twice and shook his head as if he thought he was dreaming*

[ooc: True story: my lab partner in high school was a pyromaniac. He was constantly spilling fuel over our lab table and setting it on fire. Made for interesting times as we tried to cover that up so the teacher wouldn't see.]

((We did that in middle school a few times. There was this really annoying student, and we had matches, and um, yeah. Thank fully there was nothing flamable in the classroom.))

[ooc: Ooooh we've had a few pyro's in our high school. Luckily none in any of my labs]

[ooc: OMG yes. I can only remember so many cool things that we did in lab back in the day]

[ooc: Oh, magnesium is so freakin' pretty when you light it on fire. Y'know, as long as you don't look directly at it.]

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I know! It was my favorite experiment in chem ^_^]

[joan-not-jane.livejournal.com]

[ha! My father is a chemist, and he does the whole magnesium on fire thing for fun all the time. It's so pretty!]

[master-of-fear.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I wish I had a secret stash of magnesium. That would totally cheer me up every time I'm down]

Roy takes a strip of magnesium, lights it, watches the reaction. He knew exactly what to expect, but sometimes the simple experiments never lose their charm.

"You know, today would be even more exciting if you had some pure sodium we could drop down the drain."


He begins to fill out the form.


Suggestions:

1. build-your-own-fireworks experiment & contest

2. guest speakers

3. field trip & adventure/challenge of some kind [kinda wished I had joined journalism last week...]

4. contest of who can do the most interesting prank that requires science (toward school property, not toward people or anything) without anyone being able to figure out how you do it.
