Your Burlington Guard was at Westosha Central today for chemistry class!!

How does chemistry relate to the WI Army Guard? Well by exothermic reactions in our MREs that’s how!!

Thank you to Ms. Jackson-Reeves for allowing us to share our PowerPoint and MREs.

The students got a chance to heat up our MREs with the heater there was a prize for hottest which was a cool 90 degrees Celsius!

Bonus was them getting to try the MREs warm!

message us to lock in a date before summer break to do some exothermic reaction study with your class!
