Presentation Outline! ​One day, while cleaning the backroom of the chemistry classroom, a bottle with a letter inside of it was found by students Vinny and Reed. Being the curious little people they were, they decided they were going to try to get the paper out of the bottle to see what it was. After quite some time trying to get the letter out, Reed finally did. To quite some surprise, they found instructions on the paper titled: “GENIE IN A BOTTLE”. Then next line read HELP in capital letters; if helped I will grant you 1 wish. Could it really be true they asked each other? Beneath that was a few steps that looked like a science experiment.

The first step said: If lid on bottle was put back on after retrieving paper inside, please take back off.” So Reed took off the cap as directed by the paper. The next step read: “ Take 40mL of 30% Hydrogen Peroxide that has been stored in the fridge and pour it in the bottle.” Vinny warned Reed that hee needed to be careful because the hydrogen peroxide they were using was very strong and not like the one that they were used to at home to clean their wounds. If Reed were to get the peroxide on his hands, they were turn a white colour and sting a little bit. Reed carefully measured 40mL out without spilling any and poured it into the bottle.

After finishing that step they moved onto the next one that read: “Go to the science cupboard, find the manganese dioxide, measure out 4 grams on a scale. If there are any big chunks, replace with finer manganese dioxide.” Carefully Reed measures out the manganese dioxide onto the scale making sure he got the right amount. Finally ready for the last step, Vinny read to Reed “Carefully but quickly dump the manganese dioxide into the bottle and step back.” To their surprise, after doing the last step quickly, out popped a Genie. The Genie then granted them the one wish they deserved so Vinny and Reed asked for a great mark in chemistry class and got it!!

After I do the experiment, I plan to then quickly run through it again, but talking on a more scientific term about what is actually happening.
