(2) Students exchange their chemistry book for a thinner version in the library. (D block did this; F block needs to do this still.) (3) Begin teaching about "Chemistry." Define chemistry as "studying the characteristics and interactions, of material and energy." Explain we study matter for: (a) interest, (b) practical application (technology), and (c) for safety.
