The Chemistry Clash of Ali Dawood
During my rather long and tedious childhood, in which I had to go and get laughed at due to my poor -at best- academic performance, I was always fascinated by teachers, they seem as if they knew everything, seriously for a first grader they surely did! Especially the science teacher Nasser Al-Baba, I would go and attend his class from the window overseeing the hallway.
We -talking as a first grader- had different break times than higher grades as they will try their best to displace their anger on lower grade students, after they have been slapped a couple of times by the math teacher or at home by their parents?
Thus for safety reasons ?I guess- when we have a break they have a period, and vice versa. I would go and have a peek at what the older grades take for science, they were taking a chemistry class with Mr. Nasser, they had a lab that day, I saw an assortment of weird looking flasks, jars, and shiny stuff?
Mr. Nasser took a piece of silvery looking ribbon, and a hot blue Butane flame? he took the slivery piece and slowly lowered it to the flame? when ?Ding?ding?ding?ding?ding!!!? the bell rang with a strong sharp ringing …show more content…
