I once ate something involved in a Chemistry experiment in year 10. I won't say what, but it didn't react with my stomach in the best of ways. I'm stupid, I know :tongue:

Product or reactant? If you don't want to specific then by sure don't be ^.^ - Just being curious. - Going through all my old reports, (scanning them all) and I find I was a pretty quite kid back in primary. Life has changed sooo much since then.

I might as well just say, it's stupid regardless of the substance or whatever. It was copper carbonate (as far as I remember). It looked nice so I just went for it :tongue: Awww yeah, same! I was reading my last ever one for school, quite sad really :frown:

Copper carbonate flame tests are cool! Most flame tests are cool; burning things is fun!

I once drunk limewater instead of blowing it and have burnt scientific equipment-I'm terrible at practical experiments.

Hahahaha sounds fun :tongue: I've never done it, but people constantly practically blowing up test tubes is pretty funny!
I may or may not have dropped countless test tubes on the floor, as well as once spilling a whole bottle of iodine. :ninja:

I'm great at science, me :tongue:

hmmm my worst is being electricuted in class :frown: ...and being set on fire (same day :frown: ) .... the fire one was on purpose my teacher demonstrated how you can control fire :biggrin:
Secondary school practicals are basically the devil's work, I think that's what we can infer from this.
