Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI remember showing my students how dry ice could sublimate in a plastic container outside not thinking about how a stray cat would also think it interesting. I quickly had to decide either to save the kitty and put myself in harms way or allow my students witness one of the cats 9 lives. The cat was saved.
