Today we had time to almost complete all of our research, materials, procedure, etc. This was very helpful, because we had time to talk to teacher for suggestions and help. We hope for having another working day in school. We are going to build the molds and prototypes at home.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I was able to do further research over my topics, and work on how to carry out my experiment. Over the weekend im going to finish writing my procedure, and research on how to get materials. Im going to meet up with Ms.Burr to get it signed.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, we finished our research plan, our forms, and our procedure for our experiment. Future action steps we are planning to do is that we are going to meet outside school and work on this project during Winter Break.

Today we gathered half of our data regarding wireless electricity transmission: we gathers info on the voltage of the system at 48 and 24 turns of the wire, and we are still missing the voltage of 32 and 40 turns. We gathered the data in downloadable tables from the voltage reader that we can send if you ask us. In the future we will need to finish our data collection, analyze it, graph it, and come up with a conclusion.

These are the links to the research:

So far, we have come up with a method to successfully strip plastic bottles in to thin strands of plastic. We have requested a full list of our materials, and are ready to construct the mechanism in the TRC (after filling out the permission slips). We plan on reinforcing the plastic rope by braiding it and scorching it.

# data[].attributes.body
So far, we have managed to get all group members on the same page and have a clear idea of what and how we are carrying out our experiment. We have designed a visual reference of how our project will look like and what we will do to carry out reliable results and evidence.
Our future goal is to successfully carry out the project and our prototype without any serious issue/conflict and successfully fulfill with the goal we all have in mind.

Today we noticed that our project wasn't suitable for the high school science fair. Therefore, we decided to change our project and this propelled us forward in our design and scientific processes to create an ingenious experiment. This will allow our project to truly communicate the topic that we wanted to test. Today we were able to finish the Research Plan/ Project Summary. We were also capable of designing an experiment that will allow us to collect the data necessary to create a developed science fair project. For the future, we will have to collect the materials to build our test container and start the experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we finished our desing, research and we discuss the purpose of the experiment. We create a list of the materials, procedure and the objective.

Today worked on our procedures and our design for our combustion gas filter. We sketched a drawing for the filter, and we went in deeper into the understanding of what there is next to come when planning what we will do from now until the deadline. We clearly have now what we need to do from now on. :))

# data[].attributes.body
Today we finished and modified our project summary and our IRB application, we also sketch future plans for our prototype . https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ooxRN3rXIuQCLJDIGihY1pH8sRsw0QjBQjGbny0SyrE/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/17BMBRracV5mU8OiX3V0pym-8d0U8XcQRWtupS0VCu2U/edit

Yesterday, during the science fair work, we were able to learn and investigate more on the wavelengths provided by a combustion's flame. Our next steps are to do the experiment and calculate the wavelengths of the flames we make from different elements.

# data[].attributes.body
Completed filling out the sheet for the science fair and mostly done setting out the experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
Yesterday we decided to change our topics to water sanitation and filters as we believed our previous topic wasn't going to be a good one. We completed all our background research (we will continue to research more), worked on our action/research plan, on the rationale, hypothesis, variables, etc. In short words, we completed everything we had to and are now pretty much ready to start the experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I completed all of the forms and research/rationale requirements.
In the future, I hope to actually carry out my tests for my experiment.

On Wednesday, we created a detailed plan for our science fair experiment. Up to this point, we had an objective, hypothesis, and research for our experiment, but we hadn't really thought of a procedure. This is what we worked on first: creating a complete procedure and materials list. After that, we began gathering materials-- we went out to gather one of the dyes we are going to use in our experiment from around the school: dandelions. Next steps are gathering data and performing the experiment.

Here is a link for our work:

Currently, we've visualized the procedures required to carry out our experiment. Though we still need to get the IRB approval form completed, we've made good progress. However, going forward, we will need to focus more on the intricacies of our experiment, as it may require specific materials and mechanisms.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, we finished our background information, procedures, materials, methods, data and results analysis. For our background information, we decided to describe the different types of renewable energy, the benefits of renewable energy and how it would work long term. For our research question, we decided to work with a specific type of renewable energy : Solar energy. We want to build our own house model, that will work with a solar power to lighten up. Our design will be three dimensional. Theoretically, it will be split in half, so that observers are able to understand the design of the model, but also the engineering aspect of it (the wiring, and solar panel connection). Next, our materials will need to be ordered on amazon, for us to start building the house model. We would like to buy two mini solar power with 25watts each, they cost 9 dollars and we will both pay for them.

Progress Reflection

With the hours we had to work on our science fair project we got a lot done. First we started by getting extra background information. We did this by doing some research and taking notes on topics that seemed important or related to our research question. The extra research time helped us with the rationale section we finished. After taking notes we started to work on what was expected to be done for the day. We split the work up to get through more. What we worked was creating a hypothesis according to our research question and the information we had just read about in our research. With the information from our rationale and hypothesis we worked on the section expected outcomes. We found it helpful that having the researched helped with predicting what we would see with our experiment. The next steps we have to take has to do with our experiment plan. We have to organize our ideas to creates a way in which we are going to structure our procedures. After creating our procedures for our experiment we have to just collect the data and make sure we keep track of our information.
