This morning when I first pulled this reading on photochemistry and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet off the shelf, I assumed it would be about developing photographs in a dark room, an arcane art that I nonetheless learned in high school in the 1970s but that is now a niche skill, I suppose.
