According to the Boston Herald Tom Brady and Danny Amendola spent extra time working together on routes and timing yesterday during the New England Patriots first day on the field together, and it seems clear that Chemistry and timing with Amendola will be a primary focus of New England’s offseason. Of course, it should be - this relationship will need to succeed if the Pats hope to maintain their offensive proficiency... (Read more) ...

biological-Chemistry : Restriction endonucleases are enzymes witch catalyze the cleavage of nucleic acids at specific sequences. DNase act on DNA and RNase restrict RNA polymers. EcoR1 is a restriction enonuclease and a DNase, Which can recognise the palindromic sequence ‘GAATTC’. EcoR1 can be used to cleave, plasmid - pBR322 producing sticky ends. These can then accept transgenes with the same ‘sticky ends’, they are cemically bonded by enzyme ligase. They’re useful in biotechnology. EcoR1 was isolated form E. coli . I love how creepy the video is LOL’d when I read the following comment: ’ I clicked on this to learn, not to shit my pants. Holy shit. ’! ...

Kentucky high school chemistry experiment goes terribly wrong: plus “Bonus Lesson”

Risks when your local school shares data it collects on your child with others They had a “hot” time in a Glasgow High School Chemistry class last Friday with an experiment that turned out to be “all wet.” The Glasgow Daily Times reports (subscription for full article) that a silly experiment to ignite clouds of natural gas in a classroom (lighting fires in a classroom – what a great idea – NOT!) did the inevitable – triggering the sprinkler located right overhead. That wound up soaking all sorts of technology devices and eventually flooded numerous classrooms. This silly stunt got caught on video. And then came a demonstration that anything caught in a computer – such as sensitive data schools collect on students – can live forever. You see, the original video was removed from You Tube, probably at the request/demand of the school. However, copies of the video keep cropping up in You Tube like mushrooms, anyway. This crazy science stunt scorched the new school’s ceiling (nice show of respect for taxpayer provided facilities) and probably shortened the life of a nearby electric light fixture, just to name a few other unintended consequences. Of course, someone had to cough up for water damage treatment from this silly stunt. The video of this nutty affair got posted on You Tube under the title “Teaching Fail!! Chemistry Teacher Experiment Goes Wrong.” The Times says the video got 313,000 views between last Friday and Monday. But, ...

High School Chemistry Demonstration Gone Wroing

Tue, 21 May 2013 23:54:20 GMT

Source: depletedcranium.com --- Tuesday, May 21, 2013
One of the great benefits of the proliferation of cameras on phones and devices is that so many wonderful events of every day life are not captured and uploaded to the internet. Here’s a great one from a high school Chemistry class. Now I’m all for hands-on learning, because it shows how science can be fun and helps demonstrate basic principles. I’m not sure exactly what they are demonstrating here, but I’m guessing that it’s the fact that methane gas, the primary component of natural gas is both lighter than air and flammable. What could possibly go wrong? My first concern would be that they could inadvertently set fire to the ceiling. Hanging ceiling tiles are supposed to be fire resistant, but that only means they will usually char slowly and self-extinguish. They can still, under the right conditions, catch fire, and there are exampled of hanging ceilings that, for whatever reason, did not seem to meet the standards for fire resistance. Hence, given the low elevation of the ceiling and the potential to start a fire, I would not consider this an entirely safe demonstration. Thankfully, that did not happen. However, something even funnier did… I have no idea whether the teacher kept his job. My guess would be that he did, since teachers unions tend to be quite protective and he didn’t seem to have done anything overtly indefensible. (like an inappropriate relationship with a student or stealing from the school) But regardless, ...

Game Plan for Chemistry SAT II Test Prep

Tue, 21 May 2013 09:00:00 GMT

Source: thethinkingmother.blogspot.com --- Tuesday, May 21, 2013
The homeschool high school parent grapevine says the hardest SAT II test to take is Chemistry. The wise homeschool parents say to take any and all SAT II tests while the subject is fresh on your mind. I am making my older son take his first SAT II test: Chemistry, in June. Why? Am I nuts, given that we just found out last month of his five learning disabilities? I realize he probably will not score in the 700s let alone get an 800. I do not mean to sound dismal, I am a realist. Adding on to my suspicions, our chem tutor (see here and here) said after working in that chem text (A Beka) with my son that the text WILL NOT enable my son to pass the test well. In her opinion the College Board's chem test is Pre-AP Chem level, it is NOT at a leveled chem class, which is what my son took. She advised that I purchase a text that is used for Pre-AP in the Houston school district: Chemistry Addison-Wesley published by Prentice Hall. (Here is where I could start ranting and raving that a leveled Chemistry standardized test should be based on a level chem class not on a pre-AP chem class. Why is the College Board setting students up for failure? But I will withhold my tongue for now.) I asked the chem tutor to work with my son to go over the entire year's content and to see where my son's gaps were. I also worry about the general standardized test format and the time constraints with my son's learning disabilities, slow processing speed and ...

Pharaoh's Snake Firework or Chemistry Demonstration

Pharaoh's snakes or pharaoh's serpents are a type of small firework in which a lighted tablet exudes smoke and ash in a growing column which resembles a snake. The modern version of this firework is the non-toxic black snake . Pharaoh's snakes produce a more spectacular display, but they are toxic so now this firework is only produced as a Chemistry demonstration. If you have the materials and a fume hood, you may wish to make your own Pharaoh's snakes. Making Pharaoh's Snakes This is an extremely simple firework demonstration. All you need to do is ignite a small pile of mercury(II) thiocyanate, Hg(SCN) 2 . Mercuy thiocyanate is an insoluble white solid which can be purchased as a reagent or can be obtained as a precipitate by reacting mercury(II) chloride or mercury(II) nitrate with potassium thiocyanate. All mercury compounds are toxic, so the demonstration should be performed in a fume hood. Typically the best effect is obtained by forming a depression in a shallow dish full of sand, filling it with mercury(II) thiocyanate, lightly covering the compound, and applying a flame to initiate the reaction. Pharaoh's Snakes Chemical Reaction Igniting mercury(II) thiocyanate causes it to decompose into an insoluble brown mass that is primarily carbon nitride, C 3 N 4 . Mercury(II) sulfide and carbon disulfide are also produced. 2Hg(SCN) 2 → 2HgS + CS 2 + C 3 N 4 Flammable carbon disulfide combusts to carbon(IV) oxide and sulfur(IV) ox ...

The 21st Lakeland meeting on Heterocyclic Chemistry and Synthesis, 40 years since the first meeting, was not to be missed!

Were you there? Or you might have been following the live tweets from @Grasmere2013 , updated by @APDobbs & @AzaPrins? For a round up of the meeting and some highlight pictures, why not read below for a summary by this year's organisers! Grasmere 2013 The Heterocyclic Group began in 1967 and first held a Heterocyclic Conference in the Lake District village of Grasmere in May 1973. This meeting has been repeated every two years since, and the latest in this series took place 9-13th May 2013 and organised by Professors Adrian Dobbs (University of Greenwich) and David Knight (Cardiff University). This was a landmark for the meeting, marking 40 years since the first such meeting and the 21st meeting in the series - the 'coming of age' symposium! The original founder of the meeting, Professor Otto Meth-Cohn was in attendance and one member of the group, Professor Gurnos Jones has attended all 21 meetings. As ever, lectures were held in Grasmere Village Hall and the conference booked-out two local hotels, as well as numberous B&B's. Excellent science and food were in abundance during the meeting, as was the Lakeland rain, but a good time was had by all. Highlights of the meeting included the presentations of two RSC Medals and their associated lectures: to Professor Scott Rychnovsky (UC Irvine, Pedler Medal ) and Professor Chris Moody (University of Nottingham, Charles Rees Medal and Lecture ).
