The End has Come

An Encounter With Success

Have you ever been playing basketball, football or soccer and noticed that the (e.g Basketball) ball is very dirty? Do you want something more than just the ordinary soap and water? Well wait no more! The Ultra- Play Cleaner is the product meant for you!

A Change of Plans

Today was a day of new discoveries for our team. We started with the idea of creating a shoe cleaner, a substance that could clean shoes multiple times, without having to be thrown away. Over the course of that class, it proved to be to difficult to create a prototype. So we decided to build off that idea, and that was how we came to our final product the Sports ball cleaner.

Creating our Own Polymer

After completing the slime lab, we formed new groups in which we will create our own polymer. Today, we brainstormed for ideas on what our polymer could be. We had ideas like a grip supporter, shoe cleaner, bouncy ball etc.  Our group has not yet decided what we are going to make for this two week project, however, we hope that by next class we will have an idea of what polymer we want to make and also a timeline to when we are going to make the polymer and put all of our data together onto a Keynote/ Power- Point.

And the Slime Countinues…

Today in class, we continued on with our slime experiment lab. We used the same process as I explained in the last journal entire. We made many types of slime with different characteristics. Though our group had slight disagreements when creating the different slimes, we were able to complete what needed to be done.  We were able to create three out of the four slimes, however, goobers was a challenge for all the groups. Though we weren’t able to complete the slime, because of a mistake in the directions (My fault).

Presentations, and More Disgusting Slime

Today in class, our polymer group presented our mini project on our understandings of a  polymer. I learned a lot about polymers throughout that half- and hour of presentations and I think have gained a better understanding of what a polymer is. Besides the mini presentation, we formed into our groups were today we created slime. The process had many instructions and if you add a bit too much one thing the slime would not end up how you wanted. However, our group was able to make the slime without any mistakes. Today was a day of teamwork and cooperation with fellow classmates.  I hope that the following labs will end up like how it did today.

Designing the Ideal Phone

 

Have you ever wanted an ideal phone that was designed just for you? This is a question that I believe that I and many people would answer as a “Without a doubt YES”. However, would it really be worth the time of creating the ‘ideal phone’? You answer that.

The Truth about a Polymer

                      

Did you know that polymers are used in everyday life? From plastics to credit cards, polymers are found in daily life, even when you something don’t know.

The Mysterious Oobleck

Dr. Seuss was by far one of my favorite authors when I was younger. It looks like now that he has resurfaced in our science class this Tuesday! What could be better than spending a class creating oobleck? You tell me.
