On Friday, Feb. 20, Ms. Lauryn Beneturski’s, Science, class participated in a s’mores lab. They used stoichiometry to figure out limiting reactants in various amounts of s’mores ingredients.
“Students are making s’mores and they’re using a certain amount of ingredients to determine the limiting reactant like you do with chemicals in a chemical reaction,” Ms. Beneturski said.
For some students, preparing to make the s’mores was the most difficult part of the lab.
“Lighting the bunsen burner [was difficult] because we didn’t have a enough gas so we couldn’t get the flame to ignite,” Alexandra Idalski (10) said.
Making s’mores was a rewarding treat to the students after completing their lab worksheets.
“It was really fun and appetizing. It’s s’mores, come on. They’re good. It’s fun to make them,” Idalski said.
