This week we have been conducting extensive research on alchemy.
The main objective of the project is to understand what alchemy is and why it is important in the history of science. First, we researched the origins of alchemy and its main ideas, such as the transformation of materials and the search for the philosopher's stone. This research helped us understand how alchemy influenced the development of modern chemistry. As well, we did some experiments related to alchemy. These experiments allowed us to observe basic alchemical reactions, like the changing color of certain metals like copper to make it look like gold.
This work shows that alchemy played an important role in the evolution of science and experimental methods.
