Floral litmus solutions

The morning session included a high speed abbreviated romp from Hydrogen to Hydrogen hydroxide.

All equipment was brought in early morning. Water was secured upon morning arrival.

Ptable was on the Smartboard. 

An animation of methane was used to show the arrangement of the orbitals.

Beginners in hydrogen and isotopes. Orbitals. Crashing through to methane. 

And into water, acids, and bases. This was a densely packed lecture. The amount of information imparted led to the students' eyes glazing over by the 60 minute mark. Break was called.

This orchid was tested and failed to yield a floral litmus solution.

Spathoglottis plicata and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis were both collected the previous day and provided the only source of floral litmus solution this summer.

This summer term the whole lab was consolidated onto the south table. This proved more functional than expected.

Board at lab end

This summer, with the flowers supplied by the instructor, the first table was dropped. With the dropping of the part two (testing flowers) and the loss of the original first table, the laboratory report was an introduction and table only.
