This was a while ago but still great. It was first hour at school and I was doing my very first science demonstration ever. I was trying to show my students what their blood is made of. I used corn syrup to represent plasma, then red hot candy to represent red blood cells, little red hots to represent platelets and so on. When you heat it up a little and mix it together it turns into a red substance and they can see why their blood it red. I started to heat it up and when I went to add more stuff it exploded from the bottom. The candies stuck to the burner and the classroom soon became very smoky. Luckily my classroom does not have a smoke detector or I would have set the fire alarm off for the whole school. The good news is that the students thought is was awesome.

That sounds like a cool demo.
That is awesome!!
LOL that's great! I'm excited to hear what they had to say about that. . . So I have to tell you I was teaching kinder students when one asked to go to the bathroom. He was in there a while but finally came out and said. "Teacher I was in there a long time, but it's ok cuz I went poop!" THE THINGS KIDS SAY!
Yay, I wanted to see the pictures for that after you told me about it. It's good to see your updates-- I can't wait to see ya at graduation!!!!! YEAH!!!
I bet that was their favorite part of the school day! Probably the thing they told their mom about when they got home, too. You're already making an impact, Jack!
