"A battery is a galvanic cell. It's no more than an anode and a cathode… separated by an electrolyte… right?" Drew peered up at his students, and could see that they were completely lost.
Pointing to the container with a soaked sponged dividing on the left, he continued, "Here. on one side you have mercuric oxide and graphite. This is the Cathode, the positive terminal. The supply current flows out from, you see?"
Drew knew they didn't, but they nodded anyway. He sighed, "On the opposite side we have our anode, This," and he grabbed handful of coins, holding them out for the class to see and placing them on the right side of the container. The team groups rapidly tried to copy his movements.
"Zinc, It's what we find in coins and anything galvanized."
Rockwaller raised her hand disinterestedly, "so, like, is the sponge the electrolyte?"
Drew fidgeted with his glasses and rolled his shoulders to loosen them up.
"Well, no, the potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte but we have the sponge soaking in so, you're on the right track."
The girl grinned smugly.
"What shall we use to conduct this beautiful current?"
They all stared blankly at him.
He glowered at them "a particular element?"
"Yo a wire!" Brick tossed out from the back of the class, high-fiving the student next to him.
Drew looked to the ceiling and inhaled deeply.
"No, Brick, No… copper."
"Copper!" He snapped at the class, watching with some satisfaction as they flinched back into their seats.
Before he could work himself into a rant, the ground shook. And the sound of one of the school's walls collapsing told Drew that another villain had broken in.
He sighed and looked at the hopeful class.
"Go, class dismissed." He waved his hand wearily, Watching as they leapt to action, and began to open the windows to the chemistry lab and scrabbling out of the school.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Baby!" A voice hollered out from the hallway.
Drew pursed his lips.
That voice sounds familiar…
"Whoa Green babe, if being hot was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!"
Drew peered out of the doorway to witness an unimpressed looking Ms. Go and some tall blonde mullet head who currently had his back to him.
Drew walked cautiously towards the strange man just in time to hear Ms. Go's response.
"Isn't there enough people in this world that i dislike without you trying so desperately to add another?"
Drew snickered, Ms. Go and the man turned in surprise. And Drew stepped back shocked.
"Eddie?"he gasped out
"Drew?" the man asked questioningly
"Who?'" Ms. Go pipped up disinterested.
The man who was Cousin Eddie, grinned widely, "Yo cousin Drew!"
Ms. Go peered around Ed, "Cousin?"
Drew shrugged and grinned sheepishly.
"What are you doing here Ed?"
"Well Cos, there's this chick cheerleader, totally busted up my ride saying that joyriding at 200 mph was seriously dangerous, seriously she's got to be stopped, a woman cant just going around ruining a man's ride!"
At this Eddie threw his arms in the air to emphasize his point.
"Now I can't let that stand ya know Man, it totally was not righteous…" Eddie cocked his head to the side at both Ms. Go and Drew.
"You two don't look surprised at all."
Drew glanced at Ms. Go.
"We're used to it" They shrugged.
"Motor Ed?"
They all turned to see young Ms. Possible in the middle of the hall, before striking a fighting pose. "Come back for round two?"
Cracking his knuckles, Ed stepped away from them and made his way to Possible.
"Later Cos!" he sent back at Drew before going into a full sprint.
Ms. Go stepped closer and leaned against him.
"Fight?"
Drew nodded watching Possible's roundhouse kick send his cousin into the wall, "Fight."
Go smiled and wrapped her arm through his. "Teacher's lounge?"
Drew lightly patted her hand, before bending his arm,"Teachers lounge."
Together Ms. Go and Drew walked down the hall away, as the sounds of Motor Ed losing a fight with Kim Possible resounded through the school.
