Description
We had to do a really Kindergarten project in Chemistry this semester. We were supposed to draw a storyboard of a certain chemical equilibrium on ten index cards. I thought that was boring, so I decided to kick it up a notch. Spock and McCoy explain chemical equilibrium. Those two can't do anything without arguing.My favorite is the second to last panel. I like McCoy in that one.

Those two just don't stop fighting, do they...

i will keep this in mind when i do something like that. i once used star wars (before i was a trekkie) to explain solids liquids and gasses. it was really bad though, you did it better.

Haha, it's always fun to bring in fandoms to schoolwork.

Why aren't there more explosions!? Oh wait, this film was not directed by Michael Bay. Why aren't there more lens flares!?

LOL. Well, did you like the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie?

I have mixed feelings about it. There are some things I really liked about it, some things that just turned me off... lens flares being one of them!
I wish that it hadn't been done as an alternate universe. I wish they hadn't destroyed Vulcan and killed Spock's mom. I wish they'd never put Spock with Uhura. And some things just don't make sense (like making Kirk captain of your flagship when he hasn't even graduated the academy yet, lol). And the way it was set up, the Kirk/Spock friendship seems forced.
But the guy who played McCoy was great. I liked the pace and the action. It was cool to see Kirk's Kobayashi Maru and learn who actually programmed the test. I really liked the music.

Well, I think the point is that the Kirk/Spock friendship IS forced... I think they both feel obligated because it's their "destiny" but I'm not sure how long it will even last. Clearly they're a lot worse friends than they were in their last universe... And yeah the Kobayashi Maru test was hilarious.
I loved the pacing and action. I actually liked the lens flares too, even though they were annoying, but you know I like shiny things

That's exactly my point. It's like Real Spock said, "You guys are supposed to be friends. SO GO BE FRIENDLY." And it happened.
I didn't even notice the lens flares the first time. Then somebody pointed them out and now when I watch it they're so distracting.
I agree about the villain... I don't think he had a very good motive. Apparently he had some back story that was cut from the movie, which made his whole plot confusing.
And what the heck is red matter, anyway? Where do they get this stuff? And if it's so dangerous that one tiny little drop can destroy a planet, why the heck are they carting it around in a blob as big as a refrigerator?

LOL my thoughts too. Oh well, plot doesn't make sense... well, it's an odd-numbered Star Trek film, so, if the track record holds out, hopefully the next one will be better

I wish I was your chem teacher so I could give you an A because this is EPIC.

This is beautiful. 
Did you get an A, or were you told you hadn't stuck with the guidelines, I wonder...?

Thanks! This was done for a university course and I got 8/8 with no comments and didn't get the project back.

I bet the professor now uses it as an example for all the other classes.

that's great

Lol, and this is college.

I love bringing Star Trek into things. Especially where science is concerned. My physics teacher once had us calculate the percent-increase in speed between warp 1 and 2, and then he apologized when I brought in my Trek encyclopedia and told him he got the speeds wrong...

It was really funny, because he's a huge Trekkie and kept dropping references that nobody else got...

I have never learned science in a more awesome way.
That is all.

Oh my gosh, I have to know what the teacher says to this

I didn't hear anything... didn't even get the work back (glad I scanned it beforehand!). Not even sure if the prof saw it, though I'd like to think the TA would have at least shown it to her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol.. I have a feeling that this would probably be copied and framed for sheer awesome-ness and hung in the class room. Props to you. I wish I had thought of something like that when I took chemistry

It's always best to spice up the assignments! This is a great idea!

I would too, though perhaps in separate classes!

Yeah, definitely. They would be arguing through most of the lecture 
Student: "Mr. Spock, can you help me with this derivative problem?"
Spock: "The *logical* way to do this would be to take the exponent..."

You gave me an idea for future science teachers with projects and cards

You never know... Mr. Vial might be a huge Star Trek fan.

well he's 58 so bet he is because I know he was swinging a ruler around acting like a jedi in class lol he's a crazy man

most science teachers are, expecially mine Ben Cobbald, who claims that cobalt is his element, thing is he's just as unstable as cobalt.
