Alchemy - Science

On Friday the 21st of September, in science class we did a new experience called Alchemy. I was in a group with Axle and Tukotahi. Alchemy was a old study and philosophy of how to change mental into gold. In the experiment, we used zinc nitrate solution, Zinc metal and copper/ten cent coin. We added the zinc nitrate solution in a beaker then started boiling it over orange fire. After boiling the zinc nitrate solution, we switched the fire into blue then held the coin with scissor tongs to try make the coin change to gold. 

I had fun doing the experiment but I was hoping that the coin would turn fully gold. I think we should of kept the coin over the fire for a little bit longer then the coin would of changed. 

I hope you enjoyed this.
