This unit is pretty easy. I understand it fairly well and have high hopes for it. Here are some helpful links for it.

Specific heat lab

We have a new unit and this is the lab for it. In this lab we tested specific heat.  We tested the temperature of our tap water, then boiled our copper in a test tube in a hot water bath. It was a short lab and wasn't my favorite. It was a little fun though.

Building a Boat

Another part of the bio diesel unit is building a boat and racing it. Sadly I wasn't here in the building a boat part but I did help my partner in making  the fuel. It is made from oil from chick fila. It was pretty cool making it. I really enjoyed this unit. Our boat did not win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd however. we got 4th. Our class i think had the boat with the longest time though. It was like 2 mins and 40 second. Props to Ganon and Riley for that achievement.

Biodiesel Video

Our bio-diesel video and I thought it turned out really well. We got a good idea and made it work. I liked a lot of the video's other people made. They were really interesting and some of them were really funny.
Here is a link to ours: Biodiesel video
