For my Chemistry and Lab today, I worked with my Dad and Amy, the only other student today, on our Chemistry lesson. We started by doing a recap of things we covered throughout the course, and then moved on the chemical process of smelting, where you melt iron oxide with carbon. The oxygen is attracted to the carbon, separating out the pure iron and the oxygen. That's the gist of in very simple terms. We also learned the phrase "LEO the lion says GER", which stands for "Loses an Electron: Oxidation" and "Gains an Electron: Reduction", which very neatly explains those two processes. We also learned that steel wool can burn and did an unsuccessful experiment to try to prove that burning hydrocarbons produces carbon dioxide.

We started by reading through the last chapter to refresh our memories, then did a short experiment to show how oxidation and reduction work. After that, I read my report, and we moved on to acids and bases. We did an experiment with red cabbage indicator to show how to find acids and bases, using it on vinegar, ammonia, baking soda and water to see how it reacted. Finally, we read through the chapter to find out what acids and bases really are.
