The Marvelous Labs of Mr. Langdon

Mr. Langdon’s science classes are the best ones around!

One of the best parts of all of them is the many fun labs that we do. No matter what class you are in, you will do fun labs at one point in the class. They range from things such as looking at things under a microscope, to dropping things from very high places.

The first lab that we did in Physics was very interesting. We tested objects of different masses and different surface areas would hit the ground at the same time. At first it seemed that mass did not matter but surface area did so we tested them at higher heights. Mr. Langdon proceeded to drop the objects off the four story roof, which yielded different results. One of the folders that were dropped from the roof even flew back onto the roof.

In Biology we did two microscope labs that both yielded many various, yet fascinating finds in the specimens we examined. We tested things from pond water to old cell parts to animal parts to bacteria. It was fun and exciting because we found many different living and nonliving examples of the wonderful world that God has created for us. We found things from cells with visible nuclei to bacteria to microscopic moving slugs.

Some other classes this year have or will participate in some other fun labs and or demonstrations. These things may include making a vacuum out of a pop can, igniting propane bubbles, or dropping neutral lithium, sodium, or potassium in water, because we all know what that does!

Mr. Langdon makes learning very fun in his classroom by doing all of these fun labs with his students. The main thing to remember when doing the lab though is to clean up right, and NO HORSEPLAY IN THE LAB!
