Classes begin tomorrow? Where did the summer go?

September 2, 2009 – 5:10 am

I could use another week of Atlantic City, NJ.  The surf off of the Chelsea Ave. beach was stellar, and I want more.

The torrential rains of two days filled the area between the boardwalk and dunes with brackish pools.  The wind whipped waves moving from the left of a walkway found only a one foot gap to get by, and on the sheltered side on the right, formed an enormous single slit water wave experiment.  Beautiful.  Alas, I was running and had no camera.

At least there are demonstrations to do tomorrow.  For Life and Physical Sciences A, at 9 am:

Green balloon with helium.  Blue balloon with hydrogen.  Candle on end of stick, matches to light.

Plus liquid N2, soda bottle and trash can.

Also, some elements : Sulfur, Copper wire and copper powder and copper bar, Zinc, halfnium, germanium. And some cupric chloride.  Is there any way I could test the conducitivity of these materials?

Off to make the demos.
