A bit of home (Mr. Lavigne)

So today I was able to participate in some chemistry classes...yeah my kinda people.  At Hanover High I teach chemistry.   Just opening the door and being splashed with the pungent aroma of a poorly ventilated chemistry room brings me back to many labs.

Nothing like it!

I was greeted by chemistry teacher Herr Kraft with a very warm smile and firm handshake.  Before we even had a chance to discuss the lesson or topic I was whisked away to view the chemistry departments prized possession.  NO not a medieval caldron but the high school department has grown a 60 kg copper sulfate crystal.  Let me review...A 60 kg COPPER SULFATE CRYSTAL!

That's it on the left.

This copper sulfate crystal is a Guinness World Record.

After the crystal viewing and photo session I was able to participate in the solubility of weak acids lesson.
