Josh Burker - Teachers Make a Difference -The Substitute

The transcript recounts a student's experience with a 9th-grade science project called the sludge test. The student faced challenges after accidentally diluting the sludge too much, which hindered the fractional distillation process. Despite the setback, the student sought guidance from a substitute science teacher, who encouraged perseverance. With the teacher's support, the student continued the project, developed a hypothesis, and completed a lab report. Ultimately, the student won the Sledge Award, learning that success can arise from mistakes.
