We were doing a lab in my grade twelve chemistry class that required a calorimeter and we needed to put a small picture of what it looked like in our lab report. So while everyone else searched Google I used Blender. For those that don't know, a calorimeter is three styrofoam cups put together in order to keep the heat inside the reaction and a thermometer used to take the temperature. This really helped me to understand the compositor a little bit better along with cycles render, especially being my first times using them.
