Catching fire \\ Participating in Mrs. Lissa Groter’s fourth period chemistry class, sophomore Traviss Ragan has the butane-filled bubbles in his hands lit at a station during a lab Dec. 3. “I definitely liked the fire part and we got to burn this piece of metal with chemicals on it,” Ragan said.

Students experimented with one of Mother Nature’s greatest elements in chemistry.

Chemistry teachers lit handfuls of bubbles held by students on fire to study the combustion of butane.
