We were doing an ionic substitution lab: mix two chemicals and something interesting happens. Sometimes you get a bubbly gas, sometimes it makes a pretty colored solid. (Your business partner can elaborate further.) Vey fun.
The instructions were to test each chemical against every other chemical, one pairing at a time. We did all this "microscale" using a few drops of chemical in a special plate that has little depressions in it. Instead of setting up a grid and testing one combination in each depression, this kid put *all* the chemicals in the same depression. It made a nasty mess. I coulda boxed his ears.
I could have boxed his mother's ears when she called me up to complain that the lab was too hard.
Next time I'll try vacation photos.

Yikes! What was all in it?
