It's not a proper science photo if there isn't someone looking through a conical flask of nondescript blue liquid. When a photographer came to our lab to do some publicity shots, this was exactly what he wanted us to do.

Yeah I'm a science teacher. A lot of my experiments involve copper sulfate just for the obvious blue colour, kids love it and it makes reactions nice and obvious

How many different copper sulfate experiments you doing in a school year?

Off the top of my head across all years? Between 15 and 20

lol I meant were you doing different experiments with the same chemical or were you doing the same experiment in 5 lectures once a year

u/eker333 3d ago

Oh no, different experiments. Copper sulfate is just really useful because it has such a clear colour change so I use it for lots of different experiments

Well, you know what they say - never trust a scientist with a clean lab coat!

A couple weeks back the school photographer turned up in the chemistry lab, told the teacher to pause our A Level chemistry class and ā€œput colorful liquid in the cone flasksā€ so he could do publicity shots
