Today in the classroom:

First year chem is still wrestling with assigning oxidation numbers. We'll do some strategies today with polyatomic ions to help them solve trickier reactions. Quiz tomorrow.

Second year chem made white glue & borax slime last week. We may start rocket engines today and coming up with different procedures to test different rocket candy formulas. Super messy, so I need to decide how I want to make this manageable.
