Student Oliver Gilan captured this photo of beautiful coloured flames produced from burning a mixture of different metallic salts in ethanol. Teacher, Elizabeth Zushma, Northern Highlands High School, Allendale, New Jersey burned this mixture on her fire resistant table at the end of the year extravaganza. The students love the craziness of it.
