Constructed this storage rack using mostly salvaged materials. Only had to buy one 2'x4' section of plywood. Will hold our soap fragrances. #BehindTheScenes #SpringBreakUpgrades

Had a great time in Arizona visiting my parents. Shipped 82 lbs of DIY chemistry lab supplies to Ohio. Cut, drilled, and ready for sanding! #BrackenFamilyFun #SpringBreakUpgrades

It's great when new experiments give us terrific data. It's even more rewarding when we overcome some initial failures. "Figuring it out" never gets old!!! #TheJourneyIsEverything #FromIdea2Reality #StillHavingFunInYear31

Kicked off the new year by discovering water under our kitchen sink. Found source of the leak. Quick phone call to my Dad, $6 trip to Lowes, and we are dry! #LittleVictories #BrackenFamilyFun

"How does the pH change during a titration?" Vernier's GoDirect pH sensors allowed my students to see the curve before we discuss it. #ExperienceBeforeExplanation

Given 5 "unknown" solutions, which are buffers? Which solution has the highest buffer capacity? #CountingDrops2SeeApHChange

Flame tests! Switched from test tubes & nichrome wires to 12-well plates & Q-tips. Excellent results. No more labeling test tubes, need 3 mL of each solution per lab station.
