I WAS ON FIRE!

This week, I had a different chemistry teacher from the previous week, he is amazing! He seperates the lesson into theory and practical, and he comes up with the most alluring practicals that i have come accross. Today, he showed us two:

1. There were three clear solutions, A, B, C. He added A to B - nothing happened - we were baffled. He remarked, 'chemistry is amazing, its like magic, I promise you alot is happening in the beaker', yet the beaker remained clear and ambient. He then added solution C, nothing happened - at first. Then all of a sudden the crystal clear solution changed from colourless to an opaque bright orange colour, after another two second delay, at an instant it then turned jet black! Magic.

2. This was even more impressive. The teacher set up a contraption using fairy liquid and methane gas that constantly produced methane bubbles. As the bubbles rose, he would light them and cause an ignition. He then accumalated some bubbles and asked some of us to run our hands under the tap and scoop some of these bubbles. He then inginted the bubbles on our hands, and it tourched up like an empowering pheonix.

Can't wait until tomorrows lesson!
