7th Grade Experiment

Mr. Fee and Ms. Eckert's science classes took advantage of Truman's awesome science lab when they were trying to determine if hydrogen was flammable. 

First they combined Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid. The reaction produced hydrogen gas which Mr. Fee captured in a balloon.  They then tested if hydrogen was flammable with a lit match. It was. There was a loud explosion as soon as the balloon was puntured the slightest  bit because all the hydrogen tried rushing out which caused a quick and loud ignition.
