Week 16 : the crunch time before midterms begins

Our first challenge of this was to seperate sand salt birdseed and iron filings. This was so we could exploit the properties of matter. Our attempt did work in the end but it took several tries. We discussed the different properties of water and ethonol and discussed how we could tell which was which. Then upon Friday we touched the surface of the process called diffusion and we seperated ethonol from water and lit it on fire. I hope this week is as just as exciting

Late nite Blog #15

Yes I should.be asleep but  guess who is not.and decided to write the blog.reflection this late. Well let's.take a trip back to yesteryear to when week 15 took place. That week we.made soaps in class! Yay! We all used soap bases to make our soaps but each soap was different, because we all received different out comes. Margo and I.made.delightful lemongrass tea.soaps which looked very nautral and organic.although we had a. Few problems with bubbles and  the soap being a bit mushy. Overall I saw the project was a success, bubbles or otherwise . With all the presentations, it took us.till Friday to get them done and then on Friday we ( attempted) ice cream in a bag. I worked with Chris and eve though we poured a lot of salt to break up the ice particles and cause the salt particles to suck energy from the surrounding air causing the. Ice to become.super cold, we got milk shake consistency, oh well :/ it was still my favorite project of the year !
