One of my friends asked about some useful invention called Polymer - Toyoichi Tanaka from Japan has invented a "Smart Gel" that has the ability to expand or contract 1000 times in volume. It could be used for countless purposes. I made a search and found a link about this guy http://inventors.about.com/od/tstartinventors/a/smart_gels.htm But I also found a really fun site for explaining what a Polymer is so why not go there and have a good laugh.. Why would learning new things be boring? Our brain wants to have fun! This is not only for kids, but also for people like me who are not very bright in chemistry... http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/basics.htm

Would you like to share with us some experiences you have in chemistry? Especially those times when you did an experiment and cause some explosions in your laboratory. I don't experience that one but one of my classmates did and burned their laboratory gowns...funny experience but we really learned a lot from it...

Hi girls! Nice to see your interest. There must be lots to learn about all the wonderful laws that work in our world. We can learn so much from our Creator that way.. Why not share your experiences too - you must know more than I do!
