Airbag lab

Dylan and I did this lab together, as we had the same bag. We checked the math many times over but we still failed. I still feel awful about getting a zero on a lab so I don't really want to talk about it much

Energy Test

I don't think the test was too bad! Despite having only 28 minutes for 20 questions, everyone finished. The lecture test were super helpful. I am kicking myself though because I over thought a couple of questions that I knew, which was annoying. But I am still happy with how it went!

Biodiesel Boat Races

This week we made our own biodiesel using Old Chick-fil-a oil. Which was absolutely disgusting and made me sick. But Dylan and I's biodiesel lasted in the cup and we were able to use it to run our surfboard boat (The Silver Surfer). The Silver Surfer met our expectations of being the slowest boat to cross the finish line! We are proud.
