Read a little bit about aluminium. Hint its an amphoteric element.

Likewise, I'm glad the reaction was "good" but they're probably looking for something more descriptive.  Can you start to answer this question for yourself by telling us what you did and what you saw.   That's part of the forum rules.  http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=65859.0
