We were reviewing the carbon cycle and talking about reaction types.
Me: The half of the carbon cycle that we do to get energy is called what?
Student: Desperation!
Me: Well I am going to agree that this is a reaction of desperation, but the word you are looking for is RESPIRATION.
Chemistry. Very desperate situation.

Reason 23: What element?
Today in class we were playing a rousing game of Electron Configuration Battleship. The students have to fire shots by writing the electron configuration for different atoms. They then call out the name of element and a hit or miss.
Student 1: "Fire" Turning white board to display electron configuration.
Student 2: Looking very intently... " Harassium!!!"
Smack my forehead.
Me: "Well harassium is my favorite thing to do to students."
