Alchemy ExperimentToday my class and I did an experiment called alchemy. We did it in groups of three or four, in my group there was Ranit and Nykachia. We used 2 ingredients called zinc metal and zinc nitrate solution. We also used copper coin, bunsen burner, tripod, heat mat, gauze mat, 50ml beaker and scissors tongs. The challenging thing about this experiment was trying to pick up the coin while it was in hot zinc nitrate solution. Alchemy is an old study and philosophy of how to change metal into gold. The best part of this experiment was watching the zinc metal and ten cent coin boiling in the zinc nitrate solution. It was really enjoyable and interesting.
Reflection
What worked well?
For my group something that worked well was us following the instructions, working as a team and helping each other if we were stuck.
What didn't work well?
Our ten cent coin not turning gold like we wanted it too. We probably should have keep holding it over the blue flames.
Well done Shontelle! You have some very well thought out blog posts. I do like that you reflected on what went well. Keep it up!
