Mount Vesuvius Eruption

This eruption took place at a place called Pompeii its from Italy, This Volcanic eruption blew off at 7980 Here is a little article around the Chaotic event...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood, one witness wrote, and shrouded the city in “a darkness…like the black of closed and unlighted rooms.” Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that–underneath a thick layer of dust and debris–Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world.

Life in Pompeii
Greek settlers made the town part of the Hellenistic sphere in the 8th century B.C. An independently-minded town, Pompeii fell under the influence of Rome in the 2nd century B.C. and eventually the Bay of Naples became an attraction for wealthy vacationers from Rome who relished the Campania coastline. 
By the turn of the first century A.D., the town of Pompeii, located about five miles from the mountain, was a flourishing resort for Rome’s most distinguished citizens. Elegant houses and elaborate villas lined the paved streets. Tourists, townspeople and slaves bustled in and out of small factories and artisans’ shops, taverns and cafes, and brothels and bathhouses. People gathered in the 20,000-seat arena and lounged in the open-air squares and marketplaces. On the eve of that fateful eruption in 79 A.D., scholars estimate that there were about 12,000 people living in Pompeii and almost as many in the surrounding region.

Evaporation Experament

We have been learning about evaporation and everything to do with it- Just so you know Evaporation means the process of turning from liquid into vapor.

Our aim is to Evaporate copper,Sulfate. (Blue Liquid) ==> Solute- Solid, Solvent-Liquid, Solution-Mixture,

I think that it would turn into gas and turn into a different color on the way of that happening.

so far it has been fogging up and bubbles have bubbles are starting to rise there is condensation bubbles are starting to rise fast water is boiling steam is starting to escape crystals are starting to form- I couldn't Record the data so i used my friends data because i was looking after the experament and telling them whats happening during the time and whats changing.
