Did you also have the group that had competition to see who could hold hot glue the longest, wacked eachother with metal rulers held over bunsen burners, and snorted citric acid when you made sherbert?
I had some of those in my school too…
Did half the class also make tazers after learning what a capacitor does, which wasn’t three best thing to know with wooden desks…
Yup. Was told clearly at the start to not plug it in to the wall sockets located just underneath us.
I find it interesting more than anything else.
In high school electronics we also used a tesla coil (that can kill you if you touch the wrong place) so they disconnected the mains cord so it had to be rewired prior to use to keep us safer.
They taught us how to wire plugs the following week…
We were taught that at high school…
I must have got the crazy science ones while you got the crazy home ec - worst we did in home ec was accidentally turn the whipped cream into butter… oh, and made a rum (flavoured) and rasin ice cream.
