1. Take 7 test tubes from the Glassware shelf and place them on the workbench.
2. Add 1g of the seven metals on the chemicals shelf (Ag, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Pb, Zn) into the seven test tubes, one metal per test tube.
3. Take a 250 mL beaker from the Glassware shelf and place it on the workbench.
4. Add 100 mL of water from the Chemicals shelf to the beaker.
5. Take a Bunsen burner from the Tools shelf and drop it directly on the beaker of water.
