Week 6

This week is our last week to work together, as a group. We have finished building our solar still. Now we are planning a prezi for our final exam. Our Prezi will have to be big if we want all 200 points worth. For our final exam we have to give a 10 minute speech that explains what we did, what we learned, etc. We each have to have a part in our speech if we want to earn full credit. Tuesday was basically our last group day. We are not sure if we will be able to work together again.

As far as mistakes, we haven’t made any huge ones. One mistake was when we found out our bucket had a hole in it. Luckily, Mr. Verkaik had an extra bucket that didn’t have any holes in it. Another mistake is when we fitted the bucket in just right. After we put the plastic on we had no other way to get it out unless we tipped it. To fix this we cut a hole in the side of our filter to get it out. To fill the hole so no critters get in, we put another piece of plastic over the hole. These we some problems that we fixed.

Today we checked our water filter while leaving it outside for a day. Our water collector had clean water in it, but we weren’t sure if it was rain water or what. We just assumed it was rain water. This time we are hoping it won’t rain so we can see if there will be clean water. Now we are done with building our project and we have been working on our presentation. I think I covered everything that has happened this week so far. There isn’t much else to do besides check our project. I’ll get back to you guys next week, bye.
