The Lava lamp project was a project we did on our own without Andrew setting everything up for us. For this project we had to make a lava lamp out of scratch. My partner was Darian and we made our lava lamp with the following materials, salt, Tozo tea bottle,light bulb, neon green sharpie,metal water bottle,benzyl alcohol,coconut oil,and water.
STEPS We started off by getting a metal water bottle and cutting a hole in the bottom so we could put the lightbulb down there. After that we got benzyl alcohol, a neon green sharpie and coconut oil and started mixing them and created the lava. After that we put the lava in the tea bottle and had to add salt water and clear water to find the right formula so the lava would float up then back down. We then rested the tea bottle on the metal water bottle with the light underneath which gave the lava its heat.

I believe this was a very successful project cause me and Darian worked well together just like I said in my last blog post.
Looking back at our experiment, The results came out fantastic. I honest didn't think our lava lamp would come looking how I did and I was very surprised. The whole experiment went well and we worked great together.
Looking Inward, we got amazing results and better results than I thought. One of the best feelings from this project was that Andrew said it was the first working lava lamp. We turned off the lights as the whole class saw our lava lamp work and I could tell Andrew was very Fascinated. This made us feel great and that was a huge accomplishment.
Looking Outward, I worked with Darian and as a group I know we preformed amazing. This was my third time working with Darian so I knew he was going to be a great partner and I knew we were going to work very well together. We both contributed to the group by staying focused, asking Andrew and Braden questions and getting our work done on time.
Looking Forward, if I were to ever do this project again, the only thing I would change is to get a better bottle because the bottle the we used, heated up extremely hot and if you were to touch it you would get burned so we had to warn other people around. For the next project we work on in Andrews class, if we had to choose someone to work with, it would diffidently be Darian again cause we worked great together.
