As we work on our project presentation, we also need to fix our filter system. Our system isn’t working properly. When the water condenses it goes up and then comes back down. We are not sure why. We are going to try putting on new plastic. The first way we put it on was not as tight as it should be. Mr. Verkaik said he would buy it for us on wednesday, but he didn’t. Since we didn’t have it we really couldn’t do anything to our filter system. We could only work on our presentation. So we did.
A problem about this week is that Monday was our field trip to Six Flags. Tuesday was also not great because only Schueler and I were at school. We didn’t get as much as we should have gotten done with our whole group. Then the next day Kendall and Megan didn’t show up and it was just Brandon, Schueler, and I. This was on Wednesday. That day we couldn’t do anything to our filter system because Mr. Verkaik didn’t get our new plastic. We just decided to work on our presentation that day.
On Thursday Kendall finally came back after being sick. This day was also the day we got our new plastic. Now we had a lot to do this day. First, we ripped off our old plastic. Second, we started putting on the new plastic. Lastly, we got dirty water and put it in our filter. Thursday was a hot day to be working outside. We kept taking water breaks because it was so hot. Now we only have this week tuesday to work together as a group. We need to finish this up.
Emilio, nice way or trying to work out the challnges you guys went through with people gone and everything. Mr. Verkaik should buy that stuff for you :p. But your project and model is coming along very well. I hope to see how you filter thing works when it is complete. Great job Emilio ( and his group)!
ReplyDeleteEmilio it was a hot day. We got a lot done on Thursday! Now we can actually see if our project works. The other times we could not because the plastic was not tight. Plus, the flap caused more problems then we needed. The water even turned our dirty the last couples of times because our plastic was not clean. All these factors really effected our time. We can finish our project strong!
ReplyDeleteI agree, kendall. We did get a lot done, and the plastic is tighter this time, so hopefully it will work. The dirty water isn't that helpful either. A problem that I just realized is that it rained last night. It seemed like the still was working, but now we won't have a clue. That is really frustrating for me, and I am sure it is for everyone else as well. It looks like we will have to wait some more. It is good that we are doing a lot though.
