For this week, I was able to learn more about the elements and their properties. For instance, I have gained several insights on how scientists and explorers are able to identify the type of the element they have gathered and these include the experiment on knowing its density, the color when it is put onto a flame, its melting point as well as the boiling point –which is emphasized on this laboratory activity. Moreover, it is denoted that matter is anything that has space and has mass, by which it is composed of different elements and atoms, smallest elemental unit, that are indivisible that cannot be broken down further into many pieces.
