Mr Thomas was a teacher at our school. He'd trained as a (1) ......historian........... HISTORY
and usually taught history. He definitely wasn't a (2) ........scientist............, but for SCIENCE
some strange reason he taught us (3) ......chemistry........... for a term. His lessons CHEMIST
were always (4) .......fascinating........, but that was mainly because his experiments FASCINATE
always went wrong! If he was supposed to use (5) ..........boiling......... water for BOIL
an experiment, Mr Thomas would use cold water by mistake. Once, he
was measuring the (6) ..length... of some pieces of sodium. I can't remember LONG
exacly why he needed this (7) ...measurement...., but I think he wanted all the pieces MEASURE
to react (8) ..indentical.... . As he pick up the ruler, his arm knocked over IDENTICAL
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) ....conclusion.... that he should stick to history! I learnt a lot from him, CONCLUDE
though. Whenever there was a question in a science (10) ........examination / exam........... EXAMINE
about what happens when sodium reacts with water, I alwways got the answer right!
