What Type Are You?

I really enjoyed watching you experience the six types of chemical reactions in lab today.  Here are some of the great pictures I got from lab today.  Thank you all for making my day with your enthusiasm and good humor during this fun experiment.  Be sure to scroll all the way to the end for the best photo of the day.

Josh admiring his neutralization reaction.

Taylor and India are excited about the single displacement reactions.

The hydrogen pop!

Jane is burning the magnesium. 
Decomposition makes Grace and Carlin smile.

Pelumi is enjoying the combustion of a hydrocarbon.

They weren't expecting the pop!  Single displacement is very exciting.

Alex and Nikki are looking for a precipitate in the double displacement.

Skip the burner, let's just use the matches to burn the stick.

Was it supposed to make that noise?!

We are trying not to look right at the burning magnesium



I'm not looking!

It's safe to look now that the burning has stopped.


Taylor is trying hard not to look directly at the burning magnesium.

Bright light, a sign of chemical change.

Jane and Afia are burning ethanol for the combustion of a hydrocarbon reaction.

Grace loves the neutralization reaction.

Austin is concentrating very hard on the double displacement reaction.
Classic Nick face.  It is clear that this guy loves chemistry.

Before...

Pelumi is not looking directly at the burning magnesium.

I'm not sure about this.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!

Pretty bright light

Magnesium oxide is born!
