You know, if I had to do it all over again, I would have recognized the value of the coconut hand grenade. Have you seen Swiss Family Robinson? Those swiss people totally defeated pirates with coconut hand grenades and a tiger. Just imagine how different history would be if Napoleon had those at Waterloo? Or if Germans had them at, well pretty much anywhere since they lost every war they were ever in.
The chemistry students saw the amazing transformation of a normal penny to a gold one!  Yup, it's true. I showed the students how to take a normal penny and, with some interesting chemistry, convert into brass, which looks like gold!  The students will do it for themselves this coming week.
The AP Biology began the review for the next exam on The Cell unit.  The exam will be on Wednesday, October 30th. We will review on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
