Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Good morning. Coffee and snacks are near the back, as I'm sure you all know by now.

It has come to my attention that some of you consider this class to be boring. In the spirit of flexible education, I will rectify that.

You and your lab partner will design and conduct an experiment, any experiment of your choice, so long as it relates to geology. On Wednesday, you will present the abstract and prospectus. Next Monday, you will present the experiments in class.

*She is smiling pleasantly.* I trust that will alleviate any and all boredom you may be feeling. Enjoy.

Phoebe smiles. "I have absolutely no idea."

"At least that makes two of us," Angela says, opening her notebook to a clean sheet. "I don't even know what kind of experiment Sidle expects."

Phoebe grins. "We could build a volcano."

"What, with baking soda and, like, vinegar? I think I did that in middle school." She grins. "It was fun. And, um, we could write a report to go with it about the science of real volcanoes."

"I think we would have fun doing that," Phoebe smiles back.

"Sounds good. When do you want to work on it? And, um, how should we divide it up?"

"Except for Monday nights, I'm pretty free after classes." Phoebe thinks for a moment. "We could do the construction together, and then split the report into sections."

"That works for me. I have newspaper Wednesday and emo club Deep Thoughts Thursday, but we could do something after newspaper. And I'll stop by the library to research whatever part of the work you want to give me."
