Extra Credit 1 (20 points max)
Choose ONE (1) of the following:
A) Gods and Goddesses - Throughout the ancient world, there is no doubt that the alchemists have attributed their knowledge of alchemy to higher powers. Maria the Jewess attested that her wisdom came from God speaking to her. The Egyptians believed Thoth was their teacher of all things alchemy. The Chinese revered the Immortals for their wisdom of longevity. So that said, find another deity or legendary figure who might have practiced alchemy and tell me about that deity. Minimum 200 words.
B) The Laboratory - Alchemists need a special set of equipment in order to successfully distill, evaporate, and condense substances. There are a number of items that alchemists use in their laboratories, some of which include Maria the Jewess' bain-marie and tribikos. Pick an alchemical equipment (it doesn't have to be what's mentioned in the lesson) and illustrate it.
C) Chemical Wedding - We will be discussing this again in a later lesson, but for now, I want your depiction of it! Either illustrate or explain to me what you think the term "chemical wedding" means. If you've heard of it before, let me know. If not, you can definitely look it up. But the explanation and the illustration has to be yours!

Alchemical Symbols 1 (4 points max)
You're wondering why the extra credit is only worth 20 points. Well. This is why. At the end of every assignment, I will have three different alchemy symbols below with a general category next to it. Using the categories and the pictures, identify each symbol and include these answers in your Extra Credit email.
Each identification is worth 2 points, with a max 4 points. However, if you identify all three, I will count the extra 2 points as bonus for lost points, etc.
Note: The symbols are symbols of alchemy, and may have come from as ancient as the Chinese and Egyptian influences to the Newtonian symbols. They can be planets, metals, elements or even alchemical processes.
