Chapter 13- The Laboratory on Wheels

Chapter Summary-
Tom know has a business partner! James Clancy, Tom's good friend, rides with Tom helping see newspapers on the train. Recently, the grand funk railway has added two new cars on Toms train- a new coach and a baggage/mail car. Tom decides, since there is never much mail and because he doesn't have enough time to work on his experiments at home,  to ask permission to move his laboratory into the second new car. Tom and James quickly move the laboratory onto the train. Now Tom will have more time to work on his experiments and a friend to help pass time in Detroit. Tom shows James the library and the Detroit Locomotive Works, and they eat lunch at Finney's Hotel. Tom is happy about all of it.

What we will cover in this Chapter-
Science: A New Element- Phosphorus

Science: A new Element- Phosphorus
Tom's laboratory is getting huge! Tom has to be particularly careful with a  chemical called phosphorus. We read a book and watched two you-tube videos to learn about the element Phosphorus.





Thanks for reading!
