Flame Lab

This week our class did an interesting lab which involved fire and some substances from the periodic table. The question was, what color or affect would the substance do when put over the Bunsen burner. For example,when strontium was put over the fire it made the flame turn red. One substance made the fire turn green but unfortunately I couldn't recall what it was. All the substances will make a different color. They use them in fire works. I found that really interesting because i did not know that. I really enjoyed this lab
