In this experiment we used steel wool and soaked it in vinegar. We took it out drained it and put it in another beaker with a thermometer. The vinegar removes the coating from the wool and makes it rust. Rusting or another name is oxidation is a reaction between iron and oxygen. It creates heat energy which increases the temperature inside the beaker.
What I learned today is that vinegar makes metal rust and is also called an exothermic reaction, ( a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat)

Wow, this is so cool! I am a science teacher for high school students, and I found your website while doing research for my class. I'm so impressed that you are doing science every day when you are only 8. If you keep working hard like this, I believe you really could help make some amazing medicines!
