I did a science report on gold.I put in all the stuff that was interesting rather than put the whole thing on.

• The Greeks thought gold was made by dense concentrations of sunlight and water.
• The ocean has enough gold in it for each person to have 2 pounds.
• One ounce of gold can be pounded out to 300 square feet, roughly the size of a tennis court.
• The symbol Au comes from the Latin "Aurum," meaning "shining dawn.".
• Nobles in the 1500's would drink molten gold and emeralds to cure bubonic plague.
• More than 25% of the world's gold is in the Federal Bank Reserve in New York. It is half the size of a football field and has 540,000 gold bars.
• Gold has been found on every continent on earth.
• Gold is soft but heavy and incredibly dense. A cubic foot foot of it weighs half a ton.
• The bible has over 400 references to gold.
