We tackled our first chemistry experiment last week! It was great! It didn’t work exactly like we expected, but still, it was great!
In this experiment we were amateur alchemists, trying to turn base metals into gold. Our desire to do an experiment of this kind came from our reading about Bernard Trevisan, one of the original alchemist. But we didn’t spend our entire life and family fortune is search of the Philosopher’s Stone, just an afternoon and 3 pennies.

| We began inside, but quickly moved it all outside. |
 |
| We added our pennies and hot dipped galvanized nails to drain cleaner. |
 |
| The wind kept blowing out our Bunsen Burner, so we rigged up a wind break. |
 |
| It’s doing something! |
 |
| Taking out the pennies to see what happened. |

: The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
