My First Lesson Ever!!!

 

 

Today I reminisce over the past 48hours of my life, truly wondering what God may have for me next...

On Wednesday I had my first "Official" lesson at my prac school. What exactly did I do with the kids???
MAKE SLIME!

Just in case you are wondering why; well there actually were some specific outcomes which were mostly all met. Mostly. Our investigation was to indentify Solids and Liquids. This was actually quite successful, for about 1/2 of the students.
The reason this was so is because the type of slime we were making is "Cornflour Slime". This solution (shown in green) is a "shear thickening" liquid, which essentially means: apply 'more pressure' and it becomes like a solid; apply 'less pressure' and it will behave more like a liquid (wiki)...
...However, the local supermarkets only stocked enough MAIZE (authentic)Cornflour for half the class. This left the other half of the class with a solution which was more like "Glue" than anything else.
Supermarkets... shame on you!!! Using wheat as a substitute for corn...

This didn't seem to bother the kids mind you. It seems they manage fun by default.

Overall, not a perfect lesson. But there were smiles on the kid's faces (And dark stains from food dye on their hands) symmetrical (Ctrl+right click, for wordweb check) - (random) a word Jason wanted to spell... (i am in his room now yes, we are blogging together. anyways back to my story)

Each child at the end of the day also had some slime to take home, in a "sealed plastic sandwich bag" (well they were sealed when I gave them out). I was later told today by one student that his slime had exploded all over his bag... well... hmmm.

I wonder what life might be like tomorrow, I have another lesson. YAY!

Btw, a side note I need $600 really quick...

Anyone have any (legal, moral, asexual) ideas about how I could achieve this???
