It's been awhile...

So I realize that it's been awhile since my last blog post.
What we're doing right now: today and for the past few days, all of the science classes have been working on their presentation. I have five slides, so I'm not that far along. But I'm excited to get this OVER WITH. And once I'm done with my presentation, I'll post that (if possible) and my final research paper and lab, which I never posted. I present my presentation on April 20th, at 8 am. Today, I finished and handed in my abstract. I didn't save the document... so I can't put it here, but it basically explained my experiment.

Something I forgot to say!!

I have my materials and procedures already written. As well as my introduction to my data analysis that I just finished. It was really easy!
Also, Ms.Minn just announced that we should be ready to present our data analysis to the class BY Thursday. Soo...... yeah. I have a lot to do tonight. But if I work hard I know I can finish within two hours once I get home.

After Spring Break

The reason why it's been awhile since I last posted is because we had 2 weeks worth of spring break. I decided not to work on my data analysis over break, and to just enjoy myself instead.
Therefore, I have to be honest: I haven't started my data analysis yet. So yeah, that could be a problem. Although, I know of quite a few people who haven't started or aren't far along into it yet. So I should be okay... but I regret procrastinating because I have a lot of work to do this week.

Anyway, I'm staying after school today to recreate the data table and graphs that I made in the lab a few weeks ago, as I unfortunately didn't save them or email them to myself. Sigh. Hopefully I can get my lab report done as soon as possible, so that I can relax over the four day weekend and enjoy my Easter. I'll post my progress to the blog.

As of now: haven't started.
Soon to happen (after I post this, although we have a short period OR tonight): I'll start and try to get at least 3 paragraphs done and organize my data.

Picture of the Top of 7 Hour

Today, while cleaning out my test tubes, I noticed the weird film which I found in trial #1 was also in my second trial
ALSO, yesterday I handed in my final data tables and graphs. I haven't gotten my grade yet.
I finished my experiment a few days ago, and my graphs and data tables turned out perfectly. I'll post them later.

I got PERFECT data today. It feels great!!

I used the second dissolved oxygen sensor, like I did yesterday.

I decided to take a picture of my #1 7 hour test tube, because the top is curling over- like it's crippling. 

My Data Table Thus Far...

So, I fixed my old data table, and added in some of my results which I had just been recording in Notebook in a Word Document. Some of the information entered into my data table may not be in my blog, though most of it should be. A day didn't go by that I didn't put my research into this document.
Anyway, since I started a new trial I had a lot of changing to do to my data table! Here it is:
