Re: The Last Word
I half dry-labbed something once. We were supposed to run the experiment twice but I ran out of time for some reason so I fudged the results of the second experiment using the first as a guide. I don't believe the teacher noticed.
I was, however, annointed as the student with the worst luck in lab work ever by my HS Chem II (Inorganic) teacher. I had to repeat several labs because he said my results weren't possible. One experiment involved silver nitrate (I believe) and, of course, was sensative to light. The second run of the experiment was kept in the supply closet which only the teacher had access to. It was also ruined by light exposure but the teacher said it looked like someone had shown a flashlight on it for a couple of hours and couldn't figure out how that had happened. I didn't have to attempt it a third time.
Needless to say, I decided to stay away from any field requiring lab work.
