Default Observatory - Lab

Walking into the observatory, the beds and Slytherin personals are gone, and the tables are set back up and ready to go.

Instructions for the Lab itself:

1. 1. Cut open one garbage bag and use it to line your mixing bowl.
2. 2. Place water in mixing bowl.
3. 3. Add sand or dirt, stirring well.
4. 4. Add dash of ammonia.
5. 5. Add dash of organic material stirring until well mixed.
6. 6. Place dry ice in 3 garbage bags that have been place inside each other.

Be sure to wear gloves while handling dry ice to keep from being burned. - If I find someone NOT using the work gloves, they will immediately lose 15 House Points and be put into detention. Even if they burn themselves by not using the gloves, punishment will STILL be given.

1. 7. Crush dry ice by pounding it with a hammer.
2. 8. Add the dry ice to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl while stirring vigorously.
3. 9. Continue stirring until mixture is almost totally frozen.
4. 10. Use gloves - Lift the comet out of the bowl using the plastic bag and shape it as you would a snowball.
5. 11. Unwrap the comet as soon as it is frozen sufficiently to hold its shape.
6. 12. Place the comet on a paper plate.

ooc: I will close this at the end of the week, unless actions in here cause me to close the thread early.
