Chemistry; Tuesday, Period One [ 01/11 ].

"Good job on survivin' yer first week of classes, kids," Kūkaku smirked at the assembled class in front of her. "I'm sure some of you have been workin' on your projects for this week, while the rest of you either slacked off or picked somethin' easy, so let's get those out of the way, and then move onto the lecture. There's safety goggles on yer ( Read more... )

Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. boobs_and_bombs January 11 2011, 05:25:40 UTC

Find a partner and either take the Atomic Challenge or play Nuclear Reactions.

Atomic Challenge:
This is the simplest game, and a good one to start with. Everyone learns how to read the periodic table and the meaning of atomic number and mass number. The game starts by dividing the marbles evenly among all players. Yellow marbles represent electrons, green marbles protons, and blue marbles neutrons. All players should use the periodic table as a reference. For convenience, two laminated copies of the periodic table are included with
the game. The object of the game is to use up the allotted marbles by adding them to the board and correctly identifying the atom that has been made. The first player to run out of marbles wins.

Nuclear Reactions:
In this game, players learn about the elements, the constitution and structure of the atom, stable and unstable isotopes, atomic number and atomic mass. Considerable strategy can be involved. The game is played with marbles and the NUCLEAR REACTIONS cards. The objective of the game is
to score points by creating stable, neutral, or both stable and neutral atoms. Each player starts with 5 Nuclear Reactions cards and 8 of each
kind of particle: electrons, protons, and neutrons. Players take turns playing one card per turn, adding or subtracting particles from the atom as
instructed on the card played. For example, playing an ADD 3 PROTONS card would mean placing three green marbles on the game board. Each player draws a new card from the deck after each play to maintain a five card hand. If
necessary the played cards can be reshuffled and reused. Particles added or subtracted from the atom must be played from, or to, a player’s own
pocket of particles. Players may not play cards for which they do not have sufficient particles to make the specified move. For example, a player with only two protons left cannot play an ADD 3 PROTONS card. The first player to reach 20 points wins.

Or just make up your own rules.

Or just make atomic combinations and blow them up. It really doesn't matter.

Just check out page 9 of the instruction manual; it's kind of magical.

Tony would be on the 'make your own rules' train for this project. But that was just because this was painfully old school. Couldn't they put it on the bizarrely-common-in-his-world holographic projectors?

No, seriously. It's a special place.

He would be an awesome partner if you could stand the whining thoughtful commentary.

Scully thought this was ridiculously easy too. So she smiled at the new kid, and said, "Want to make a nuclear explosion?"

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. hoorayimrich January 12 2011, 02:51:56 UTC

"With cards?" Tony, don't be mean about science.

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. showmetheproof January 12 2011, 02:55:13 UTC

"Since we're not allowed to build a model nuclear reactor," Scully returned dryly, one eyebrow going up.

Like that was difficult, really. The plans were on the internet, these days.

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. hoorayimrich January 12 2011, 03:13:17 UTC

"But cards," Tony had to insist. "That's not even close to the real thing."

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. showmetheproof January 12 2011, 03:16:21 UTC

"No," Scully had to admit, frowning. "Maybe we should tell Ms. Shiba that if we used the Danger Shop, we'd be able to build whatever models we wanted, without risk. Maybe no one told her?"

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. hoorayimrich January 12 2011, 03:30:31 UTC

"Danger shop?"

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. showmetheproof January 12 2011, 03:33:28 UTC

"There's a -- holographic type of theater?" Yes, that was probably the best way to explain it. Or at least the shortest. "Some teachers use it to illustrate things we can't go on field trips to. Professor Holmes used it to create a crime scene, last semester. It feels and looks real, but disappears as soon as you leave the room."

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. hoorayimrich January 12 2011, 03:38:59 UTC

Tony stared. "You're telling me this school has a hard light holographic projector?" A beat. "And no one told me about it?"

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. showmetheproof January 12 2011, 03:40:09 UTC

Scully had to grin at Tony's expression. "Until now? Yes. I'm sorry, it's one of the things they leave out of the brochure, although they really shouldn't..."

Re: Play the Atom Building Game - Chemistry, 01/11. hoorayimrich January 12 2011, 03:43:40 UTC

"Where is it?" Also, no one had explained to Tony that one can't just leave the classroom.

Well, actually Rhodey had, but he'd tuned that out.

Scully gave him handwavey directions from their classroom, and added, "You might need a key, I think it's usually locked. Although I thought I heard that one of the Reserves groups got to use it for a demonstration, too." She smiled, and said slightly teasingly, "Something you've always wanted to see, or something you miss from home?"
