Week 4 Is Here!

Yes, it is finally week 4. It has felt like a while waiting for it to come. This week My group and I are continuing on our filtering system. We have just finished the frame work on Tuesday. Now we are trying to figure out how the water will actually, go down the system so that it come out at the other end, purified. As a group we decided to put Cinder Blocks at the bottom of our system to make it tip a little. Therefore; gravity will push down the water to come out the other end. After this we will have to work on the inside of the system where it will all happen. We have not gotten this far, yet. Eventually we will and as it happens I will update you to let you know what is happening.
Sometimes the group and I get stuck. We don’t know what to do, but we still have to figure it out. We go through this all the time. Like on Tuesday, we were on a step that we couldn’t figure out. After a while we found that we could use a material that we did not have yet. That day we were just done with it because we couldn’t do anything else. That may happen to us, but as a group we fix our problems and come to the conclusion. Even if we don’t come up with a conclusion, we try to think of other ideas we could do.
We are down to our last day of working on our project. We have already measured our angle for our from. The angle will be used to let the water down after it is condensed. As I said, all we still need to continue is the Cinder blocks. Next week we will figure out what else we need to do. I am excited to finish this project. It would be awesome if we got it to work. I will update you next week on how we are doing.
