Assignment 6 - Justin Zhu

There can't be anyone that doesn't enjoy seeing a chemical reaction changing a flame to all the colors of the rainbow, and while that's cool and all, it's even cooler to make those flames change colors. Reactions like these are just a small part of what makes chemistry so great, and there's so much more to explore in the field. During the end of my Sophomore year, our chemistry class decided to participate in a 2 week lab that allowed the class to find an assortment of elements within a solution. The lab required us to be confident in our abilities to use lab equipment such as the centrifuge, bunsen burner, as well as be aware of safety concerns due to the usage of strong chemicals. The experience has stayed with me and I wan't to be able to work in the lab again and possible be apart of a major discovery in the world of science.
