I decided to group these 2 groups together as they are both quite similar. Playing with fire...(Evil Smile)
Before the lesson started, we noticed alot of bunsen burners on a table, there are 2 on each table and each of a pair. The bunsen burner is on a tile so it would not burn the table and leave a mark. Those marks are nasty as the marks are hard to get rid of, almost impossible. Firstly, we were told to each wear a safety goggles. Clarence and I immediately started to on the gas tap without checking the air-hole as we did not know that yet, in the end there was something like a strike-back and I immediately turned- off the tap.
We learned the parts of the Bunsen Burner, I did not know that there was actually so many things in the bunsen burner, I thought it was only as simple as the lighter. Next we were told to check the air-hole and and made sure that the air-hole is closed to prevent a strike-back. Clarence and I immediately laughed. Next, we lighted the bunsen burner and there was this blue flame, we opened the air-hole and it turned orange! Mystical, next we turned the air-hole on and off, as the fire magically turns colour, it was fun. Next, we burned the ice-cream stick and we burned till it turns into ash and made our hands black. We immediately washed our hands and the tube FLEW OUT! We were so shocked and water started spraying everywhere, in the end we were so wet.
