Back for another blog post! This one is about science. Specifically, elements and compounds.
On tuesday we did a lab
(I had to)
Anyways, on Tuesday we did a lab, on chemical compounds. We put aluminum into copper chloride (CuAl2) and transformed aluminum into copper. It turned into these small brown chunks (it looked like algae. Yuck)
We put the small brown chunks of now pure copper into water, and cleansed it until the water was (pretty much) clear.
Then came the fun part. Of lighting things on fire
So we were supposed to find out what colour copper burns. Spoilers: it burns green. It’s really cool, actually. Willa and I didn’t get around to burning it, as we are living flops and didn’t finish the lab, but other people got to burning it. Here’s a picture of what it looks like:

So that’s all for this post!
Read ya later
