In our first experiment we used a spoon to take out the aluminum from the solution and this is what it looked like when we took it out.
This is another picture of the aluminum out side of of the copper solution. I also think that this particular piece looks like the continent of Africa.
This is a close up picture of the aluminium when it is still in the copper sulfate. you can see how the red substance is growing and emitting gas on tiny little bumps that resemble volcanoes.
When we took the aluminium out of the copper sulfate solution this is what we saw. the aluminium was all covered in a soft red material we presumed to be copper.
when we placed the aluminum in a box formation after a fey minutes the copper ate away at the aluminum and the base of the aluminium rose to the top of the copper sulfate.
In this picture you can clearly see that when the aluminium was reacting with the copper sulfate, some of the copper became a gas. we can see this because there are gas bubbles forming on the side of the aluminium.
We placed the aluminium in a box shape and placed
it into the copper sulfate. when we placed it it we immediately noticed that the copper sulfate within the box of aluminium changed color to a dull gray, blue color that defiantly stood out.
