I think the next step is to make our own scent and add it to the recipe maybe something like orange or something that would smell good on hair. Then we need to make a batch with the scent. Looking Back: What happened?
Starting this class I was really hyped for how we got to do what we wanted to do and it was easy to get our points as long as we do our own stuff. I got confused though when we did our first blog because we we're told not to make the regular normal lame post about what we learned and what is cool so I took that thinking into my other blog posts. This made me put less text because I was making the blog for just me and I could fully understand what i did with just a few words.
While playing with the dry ice we learned a lot of things like when you put it in water more gas comes out and the terrible sound it makes when you tough it to metal. I still have no idea why the metal makes such a terrible sound but I think it has something to do with how fast it changes temperature because in my research on a Prince Rupert's drop I found out that the change of the glass's temperature also makes a bad sound.After we saw other people poor soap in beakers we wanted to try making a big bubble so we put a layer of soap on the top and this happened, because the gas was trying to expand out of the bottle it made it and kept going until there was to much gas and it popped.Today we put a centimeter of dry ice into an empty balloon and watched the gas expand. It was crazy the ratio of solid to gas was 1:4228 cubic centimeters. Me and my group decided to see what would happen if we put a little bit of water in with the dry ice but it didn't expand more like we thought it would it just expanded faster.Initial Observations
I think it is weird to say either because it can feel like both but if I had to choose one I would say it is a liquid because even when you hit water really hard it feels like a solid but in ooblecks case you don't have to hit it too hard you just need to apply some pressure to it swiftly and it is solid. Tests after we played with it we tried doing some tests to help us figure out what it was, we found out that if you quickly got it all in your hand it was like a solid but the second it was in your hand it was liquid - I think this happens because once it is in your hand there is no longer pressure on it which loosens it to a liquid. I think that the reason it is a solid when you apply pressure is that you are condensing the liquid from being tight but still room to move around into so tight it cant move around. Conclusion It is a cool substance that is hard to define kinda like zero. plus "its a singularity"~noah This is Ricky and My poster for safety we got Annika to help us with the art because neither of us were very good at making gloves.Near the beginning of this interview they talked about how not knowing is just as important as knowing and how it helps you become a learner even when you are older. I thought this was kinda funny because a lot of the scientists we have watched say near the same thing but I also found it interesting because teachers always say they learn from there students but scientist say that you learn from everything around them, this really opened up my mind to learning and how nomather what you learn it is still learning.
