On Wednesday, students in Mrs. Allison Stanley's chemistry class used stoichiometry to predict the number of s'mores (products) could be made based on a set number of ingredients (reactants). The students also had to write a balanced reaction equation based off their findings. That's probably a pretty good trade off for being allowed to make and eat s'mores in class.
