Monday we went out and took pictures and processed them in photoshop. Tuesday we watched a documentary on the Pacific Crest Trail and did a different colored fire experiment and my group started our independent experiment. On Wednesday we went to a local photography gallery. On Thursday we wrote in Steinbeck's style and continued our independent experiment. On Friday we tested one of our sparklers and made project job groups and made a plan with them.

He spooks a horse, the dog keeps running, passing through trees and bushes, coming to a pause at a street. A car races by. He barks and starts chasing it from the side of the road. He tires and heads home, where he is greeted with open arms from his family. Project Specialty - Space Cadet Link to Project Specialty Progress Sheet ChemistryWe tested one of our sparklers and it was very anti-climactic. We didn't coat them enough so it didn't exactly spark, it was just burning. When we lit the burn test, it sparked really well, but the actual sparkler fizzled out. The reason, that I think they didn't work was because we didn't coat the sticks enough. In order to get the results we want we will have to go back and re-coat the ones we have already coated so that they have a thick enough coating so they have the desired amount of spark. Other than the results we got, nothing went wrong during the experiment. My whole group worked really well together and cooperated.
