Please Help Me! I'm uncreative and need help with my chemistry project!

@aanuszek1, let’s have some more rules to choose from. Creative types might have some great ideas, but it doesn’t make sense asking them also to come up with the list of rules.

Bunsen, just in case spelling counts.

You could show one person wearing safety goggles, and a blind person with a cane wearing dark glasses, and the poster could ask which glasses they would rather wear.

@Jeruba: Ah! I don’t know how I misspelled that!

Some more would include:

-Never replace unused chemicals

-Do not dispose of chemicals in sink drains

-Immediately notify the teacher of any accidents

-Thoroughly read and understand all lab procedures before beginning

@pdworkin: You get an A.

Acid to water, not water to acid….

Go with lemonade. Show a pitcher with water and lemon being squeezed into it. Then show a “no” pic with water being poured all over a lemon, making a mess.

@pdworkin & @avvooooooo: I really like that!

@Everyone: Thanks for all your help! All these ideas have really gotten my (rusty) mental gears of creativity turning. (Another bad analogy)

The hair rule is important. A girl in my college chem lab caught her hair on fire one day when she leaned across the lab table. She had beautiful long hair, and refused to pull it back. She was ok, but her new haircut wasn’t very flattering.

You could do a “before” and “after” poster. One picture of a girl with nice hair, not pulled back, near a Bunsen burner. Another picture of the same girl with much shorter, singed, hair, maybe crying over the high cost of vanity.

Or, you could imitate those “this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs” ads (if you’re old enough to remember those). “This is your hair. This is your hair on fire.” I bet you could find one of those ads on youtube if you aren’t familiar with it. I seem to be fixated on the burning hair rule. Sorry.

A simple but effective illustration might be a cutaway view of a sink drain with different colored streams pouring down it and a huge explosion erupting underneath.

“Even Tyler Durden wore safety goggles while working with chemicals!”

Always wear appropriate clothes. you should draw a male peacock for this.

charlie says “interesting question.”

based on your project or subject matter, you have to look within the issue or matter to be displayed, discussed or demonstrated.

if i were doing a demo on baking soda and vinegar, say like for a volcano, i’d do a poster along the lines of retail theft ink when one attempts to steal from a department store, you know?

i mean, go with the idea, but that idea will be way away from the original idea. that’s creativity.

You could do a Transformers thing with a Bunsen burner when it is ‘on’ and unattended.
Damn, I wish I had thought of that when I was in chemistry.

Do a thing with lab rats. But with a Eric Blair twist. Like a guy with a rat helmet on, and a slogan that reads “now remember friends don’t let friends wear rat helmets” (edit) Crap, Eric Blair is the real name of George Orwell, who wrote 1984, the book with the yeah, uh, I got to stop typing whatever I’m thinking
