I really hadn't appreciated how hard it would be to get a gold-leaf electroscope working. The first model I had used dutch metal and I couldn't get it to work, but this model with real gold leaf did work eventually with me leaning how to attached the gold leaf properly. Putting the gold-leaf on is really quite difficult until you know how.

Using an Oximeter
One of the fun things we do, testing whether the students have a heartbeat and their Oxygen stats. Some students with painted nails appear to be dead!
