II. What did you conclude about the unknown?
When I was first was testing the elements I had no idea that they would turn different colors but now I know that different elements can turn different colors.
What science did you learn?
During this experiment I learned that different elements have different colors when fire touches them. For Example, Copper. The color of copper was blue but when touched by the flame it became green. I also learned how to properly light a bunsen burner. All you do is turn the propane on and light the gas part of the bunsen burner.
How might this information be used?
I might use this when launching my rocket. I might add maybe copper to my motor and the motor smoke would be green.
What went well and how could this lab be better?
We didn't blow anything up. Considering we were working with elements I have to say that's an accomplishment. Why? Because we had Omar, Kim, Miles, Lauren, Glorriann and I putting elements by a flame and seeing what color it turns. We were pretty much playing with fire.
