Mr Thomas
Mr Thomas was a (1)(TEACH) at our school. He’d trained as a historian and
usually taught history. He definitely wasn’t a (2)(SCIENCE), but for some
strange reason he taught us (3)(CHEMIST) for a term. His lessons were always
(4)(FASCINATE), but that was mainly because his experiments always went
wrong! If he was supposed to use (5)(BOIL) water for an experiment, Mr
Thomas would use cold water by mistake. Once, he was measuring the
(6)(LONG) of some pieces of sodium. I can’t remember exactly why he needed
this (7)(MEASURE), but I think he wanted all the pieces to be
(8)(IDENTIFY). As he picked up the ruler, his arm knocked over a jug of water
and the sodium caught fire. He almost burnt the lab down and they had to call the fire
brigade. I think after that Mr Thomas came to the (9)(CONCLUDE) that he
should stick to history! I learnt a lot from him, though. Whenever there was a question in a
science (10)(EXAMINE) about what happens when sodium reacts with water, I
always got the answer right!
