The Onion^o^

We just did a lab with an alloy called the Onion Alloy and it was really fun. We got to heat up water in a beaker and the alloy was in it. It melted and it looked really cool. The peices separated and turned into little circles of it. It looked like mercury when it melted and we got to play with it. When we took it off the hot plate then it became somewhat solidified and became fragile. But as it became cooler then the alloy became so hard that poking it wouldn't do anything to it. We ended up seperating the pieces and we were worried and wondered if we broke it. But Mr. Olson sayed to put it back on the hot plate and it started to boil and became a liquid again. As it was boiling the liquid messed together and became one again. It was really fun and we were playing with it the whole time we got it.
