Nickel

For science, we had to pick an element of the periodic table, made a 3D representation of it, and learn some basic facts about it.  I didn't want this element, but I had one of the last picks, so I chose Nickel.  It's pretty cool I guess.  Did you know that nickels (the coin) are not actually made of nickel?  Also, nickel is used for stainless steel, and it's magnetic.  My 3D model was made out of marshmallows, and since I have no self control with dessert at all, I think I ate half the bag before I started making it.  Good thing we had enough!
