Day 2 Fractional Distillation

Students did separation.
I asked students to test density and flammability of the two liquids.

We skimped on this lab and only used 2 test tubes. Should have used 3. Several students swapped out test tubes before they collected any liquid or found water to be flammable!

Students still had problems measuring densities accurately. I do not think they are being careful about reading the volumes at the base of the meniscus.
