So what science *do* you remember from school?

[happymerryberries]

Following on from the Physics test thread

And no 'practical' stuff from the snogging, bj-ing girls in the back row with the love bites please!?

bj-ing??

I remember the way Van der Graaf hemispheres make your hair stand on end...

the periodic table

Have a look at the other thread on what do you still find useful and

sorry, meant VdG generators obv. Was thinking about Magdeburg hemispheres at the same time (as you do).

experiments involving bunsen burners

Just did magdaburg hemespheres with y7 last week. They loved it! (and so did I!)

presbyopia from Biology lessons -- sadly relevant to me these days

aluminium ore is bauxite which is smelted in molten cryolite - why this has stuck I have no idea, but it impressed DS1 when passing the Alcan factory in the holidays!!

i remember that our physics teacher had one ear bigger than the other.

i remember the aparatus the biology teacher used to show us what cigarettes do to your lungs (i also remember him smoking half of the cigarette cos he said it was a shame to waste it)

i remember our chemistry teachers hair cut (pudding bowl job)

i hated science at school. am currently doing a biology degree tho, taught by people who actually like their subject! makes such a difference

speed = distance/time
the pH scale
diffusion, radiation and something else (convection???)
homeostasis

i rememeber that DCPIP stands for dichlorophenolindolphenol (or something like that) and it is used to test for something or other
