Hanging at Hogwarts


Today was potions class at Hogwarts. JB was thrilled to be helping out, but not so excited for me to take her picture. Hee Hee. Professor Snape  (A.K.A. Dr. Harris from U.S.U.'s chemistry department) taught the class all about magic potions. First, though, he taught about being safe in the lab, and ditched his black robe for a white lab coat.


He started the show of with a bang. A hydrogen bang, that is.


He then did some experiments with marshmallows, 



and changing liquid from pink to clear with both chemicals and dry ice.



He discussed how chemistry is used to indeed stopper death by use of medicines and told the kids about how his real job is to help develop medicines to fight the common cold. Then he finished with another bang. POOF!
