Day 35 ~ Melting Metal!


My son has always had an interest in science so he bought some Bismuth, a metal that has a low threshold for melting. Above is the melted Bismuth, turned into some crystals. Below you'll see the whole process plus a video!


We begin with the grill!


Still solid.


It's melted!!!!


My son poured it into a mold which sits over a strong magnet. I think that helps make the crystals but I could be wrong. 



Here's a video of bubbling metal!

See you tomorrow.
