Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

The science classroom was arranged as most science classrooms were - lab benches that seated two, facing a larger one and a chalkboard at the front of the class. Shelves and cupboards were stocked with glassware and things floating in jars. There also appeared to be a pair of safety goggles with battery-operated wipers attached. A skeleton, jauntily arrayed in bowler cap and bowtie, hung from his stand in the front of the class.

Shortly after the bell, a short figure with frizzy red hair flounced into the room, giving the impression that she was on the verge of a pirouette. Her dress was covered in a print of various scientific paraphenalia - beakers, flasks, bunsen burners, elements, atoms, molecules, DNA, etc - and her shoes somehow managed to match. Miniature Erlenmeyer flasks dangled from her earlobes. There was a large iguana perched on her shoulder, although she didn't stay there long, scampering down the woman's arm onto the teacher's lab bench and then appeared to arrange a pile of papers.

"Good morning, class!" the woman trilled, clasping her hands together. "My name is Ms. Frizzle! Welcome to science! Oh, we are going to have such fun together, children! I will do my best to learn each and every one of your names and if - ah, thank you, Liz!" This was directed at the lizard, who had just handed her a class roster. Ms. Frizzle quickly read through the attendance, almost bouncing in place.

That finished, she turned her attention to whatever lesson she had in mind. Although 'mind' seemed to be a slightly loose term when applied to this woman. "Science!" she announced, unconsciously striking a pose. "It's all around us! You might not think about it, but it's there! From the chemistry involved in making your breakfast waffles to the physics in making the bus run, to the way the beam your flashlight works! It's all science and it's wonderful!" Another pose and almost-pirouette.

"This year we will be having a science fair! I want you all to find a partner and use this class to talk about your projects! You don't have to decide on a topic yet, but I want you all to get to know each other - if you don't already - and get to know me! And there's no better way to do that then to jump right in!"

You know all those exclamation points that the Power Rangers are alloted? Ms. Frizzle has been siphoning their supply.

Roll-call!

Say "Here!" when your name is called. Or something.

JD nodded and grunted when his name was called.

Talk about science!

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

The Friz may be listening.

Gwynn was taking notes, and from time to time she would look up to watch the teacher. After the confusion and worry of her last class, she had the feeling that this one was going to be better.

Edward stared. And stared. And staaaaaaaaaaaaared.

He was beginning to think that he may just be in the wrong class.

Blair bounced up and took a seat. "Hey, man. Do you want to partner up? What are you thinking about for a project? Do you have any ideas? I've never been in a science fair before but I think we should do something cool. Like explosions or something with an octopus!"

Naomi wrote down notes and also looked around for partner.

Will spotted a familiar face and waved.

"Hey! Do you have a partner yet?"

Tyler was surprised by the dress, but he kind of admired her spirit as he took notes.

He looked around for a partner.

[OOC: Establishy; pair with him if you want but I'm only going to be on for a little bit more until Saturday night.]

"Hi!"

It's possible being around somebody so energetic has put Pippi into overdrive.

Re: Talk about science!

[fates_jaye]

Jaye frowns at the idea of a science fair, decides she might be fine with one of those volcanos that erupts baking soda, and figures she's good.

[Will be in SP till 5 PST, open after that.]

"HI!" Greg exclaimed, bouncing up.

Will cheerfully tried to take notes about what the teacher was saying. Ms Frizzle seemed so much more interesting than the science teacher at her old school. Or at least way less grumpy than him.

Luna twirled her new P-E-N! with her fingers as she took in her new professor's ensemble, it was quite fascinating!

In fact, it looked like something that a more grown up Luna might wear!

The twirling continued as she considered what might be considered an appropriate topic for a 'Science Fair'.

[ooc: Am off to pick up my car from the shop, shall pick up pings when I return. Cheers!]

Molly looked over from where she was sitting nearby. "Do you want to be partners with me?"

Re: Talk about science!

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma shut his eye tightly as he watched everyone else get partners. Not Chad. NOT CHAD. PLEASE ANYONE ELSE!

Re: Talk about science!

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Huh. Imagine that.

Keeping a low profile through the selection process, Chad had not intentionally waited until most people were already partnered up so that Ranma wouldn't have much of a choice. He had to prove it to her....err, well, him today...that he wasn't just some creepy pervert. And things didn't get less creepy pervert-like than science.

...Although, after a moment, he realized that he would have said the same thing about religion before just yesterday...

Oh, well, too late now, as it looked like everyone pretty much had already partnered up already.

"Hey. Looks like we're the last ones left."

He'd never been more relieved for his impenitrable stoic facade. His voice was nothing but a deep rumble stating a fact; inside, however, he was just dying. This would be interesting...

Talk to Ms. Frizzle!

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

She's very, very approachable.

OOC!

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

Too many exclamation points?

Re: OOC!

*looks sadly at own, mysteriously depleted exclamation-point supply*

*shakes jar frantically until one final exclamation point falls out!*

Re: OOC!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Not nearly enough!
