My sophomore year of high school I was tormented by a little subject called CHEMISTRY. Oh how I suffered through that class. In the spring, when Ms. Bohince gave us an optional extra credit project, I was all over it. I needed all the help I could get. The challenge was to create a costume out of recycled items for Earth Day.
I raided old milk cartons, newspapers, cardboard boxes, rope, construction paper, string, an old wooden dowel, and a can of silver spray paint. Here's what I created:
A knight costume! Not so bad, eh? I did get my full extra credit, and I think I managed to pull a B in the class when it was all said and done.

Aw, man . . . chemistry tormented me, too! That was my hardest class, ever, in high school.
I love the costume! How creative!
I loved chemistry although I couldn't tell you any of the symbols on that crazy chart anymore.
LOVE THE HORSIE!!

What a wonderful outfit! I hate light the burner to do the experiments! Thankfully my lab partner loved to.
I liked the class pretty much. :O). I had a very odd teacher for that class though. LOL
How cute! I have forgotten my chemistry grade - probably for the best.
I somehow managed to graduate from high school without having to take the dreaded chemistry class.
I love your outfit. Very creative. :)
too funny! great job!
Brilliant! You look FIERCE! My sons make castles out of old boxes and egg cartons and bottles and yarn. They're of that Renaissance ilk.
I had to take chemistry in high school too. I wish Mr Rudd (I still remember the first day of class-he said "Rudd. It rhymes with mud, crud and blood!") had given us an opportunity to do extra credit. Instead, he let me withdraw at the end of the semester with a D--. (About as low as I could go!)
Great job on your costume! It was worth every extra credit point.
I linked up with Family Farm Memories. Thanks so much for hosting! I love your costume picture but I don't want to remember how HORRIBLE I did in Chemistry. Earth Day is a great day to celebrate family farmers who care for our land and grow safe and healthy food which is why I featured farm memories today.

Great Post. You were a knight in shining armour, and you should have gotten an "A" in CHEMESTRY
This is very clever, and I love the horse! Perfect for Earth Day!
I loved Chemistry! My high school was college prep and I took 4 years of chemistry. In my Chemistry 101 course in college we used the same text book I had used my senior year of high school, made for an easy A. I love the costume. You were creative even back then it seems.
Oh GOOD KNIGHT - I hope you got an A!
Love and Blessed Easter. sandie
HA! Great costume!!
Extra credit was my friend too :)
Why, oh why, couldn't my chemistry teacher offered extra credit projects like that? All I remember is having to memorize the periodic chart!
I think I LOVE that outfit! How original and innovative, Baby Girl...:)
this is great!!
