When it first started, it looked like pooh.

Still a cool experiment though. Don't think I'd let my own kids play with mercury though. Thanks for sharing.

an even better experiment to do, which is my personal favourite (pity i'm not doing chemistry anymore and have no access to these ingredients any longer)

Powdered Potassium permanganate and Glucose. Spontaneous combustion. Cooooooooolll.

So those boring "Snakes" fireworks that my parents bought me every July 4th were actually Martian rocks? That IS cool.

I guess.

Pure mercury is LIQUID at room temperature.

There are certain MIXTURES of mercury that become SOLID at room temperature.
