Today was our first lab meeting, and we separated a mixture of sand and salt into its separate components, and then calculated what percentage of the total mixture each component comprised.
We used our bunsen burner to evaporate the salt/water mixture, and I was a little nervous about using it at the church gymnasium where we meet for our labs. Joe taught Zachary and Ryan how to safely operate the burner, and they did a great job of handling it for us today.
All in all, we got off to a wonderful start to our lab co-op year.
