 Potions Lesson in the Duelling Arena
 In previous years, Noble had held this lesson in the Great Hall. Since both that and the potions of corridor were out of bounds, however, he appreciated that Trent had lent him use of the duelling arena for the next hour or so. Hopefully the Headmaster wouldn't regret doing so by the time the bell went for morning break.
The door is propped open on arrival, and inside, there isn't a practice dummy in sight...nor are there any chairs. The room looks shorter than usual, a heavy dark green curtain covering the back wall. Tables are pushed up against the side walls, three on the side with the door, and four on the opposite wall. There's obviously a variety of objects on each, but the contents are currently hidden with a cloth. And at the front there's a somewhat cluttered front table, housing four small cauldrons in a row, a stack of small clear cups, wooden stirrers and a pile of scrap parchment and paper.
A fifth cauldron is in the Potions professor's arms, where he is carefully stirring its contents with a glass rod. "Hurry up and sit down," he says, looking towards the doorway. If the man is frustrated by his recent upheaval, he isn't showing it.
Lesson progression:
Question: how can you stick/attach things together?
Activity: identify the adhesives
Activity: choose the right adhesive for the job
Extra activity: try the gripping solution on the climbing wall! |
