Reactions and Reactors

This week in the seven and eight class we went to the nuclear reactor in Pullman and we saw a lot of interesting stuff. Then the crew went into a room were they control the reactor and make sure everything is going correct. When we first went into thereactor we had to go through a metal detector. - McKenzy

In normal class, aside from field work we did a cool combustion lab, where we lit a candle, set it in a jar, and observed. We observed how it burnt with open air, with tin foil covering the top and, with holes punched in the tin foil. We had our first fire drill

of the year; it went smoothly.

Unfortunately we could not take the camera into the Nuclear Reactor Center, and we failed to get pictures of the combustion lab. So I found this gem of a picture from our staff training.
