Grade 12 Chemistry students tested afterwards the fractions for volatility, flammability, viscosity, color, smell, etc. Grade 12 Biology students finished with Animal Physiology and will get started with extended Physiology for their option.<\/p>\n<p>Grade 11 Chemistry students finished with the HL part of periodicity and studied the properties of transition metals and the formation of colored complexes. Grade 11 a biology students covered replication of DNA, transcription and translation.<\/p>\n<p>Grade 7 students talked about states of matter, changes of state and about the differences between elements and compounds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0722.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-163058 lazyload\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0722.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0722-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0722-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0722-510x382.jpg 510w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/750;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0720.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-163060 lazyload\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0720.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0720-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0720-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0720-510x382.jpg 510w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/750;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0717.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-163059 lazyload\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0717.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0717-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0717-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/12\/img_0717-510x382.jpg 510w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/750;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it is that time of year again when we get a sample of Omani crude oil and we separate and test the different fractions using a distillation.
