Dodgy Results?

Alright, so far, the weather's been down.. yeah.
and my experiment requires a bit of sunlight so the water evaporates..
which happens to be an inconvenience as Mother Nature opposes this..
the results have been .. yeah fail..
nothing much has happened so someone .. suggested i use a lamp as the source of light
and redo my experiment..
I might actually give this a try, but i could always leave the thingies out for like a day or two to substitute for the lack of evaporation, instead of only 6 hours.
But i don't get it, it's like only a tablespoon of water and literally, like no bull, nothing has evaporated. sigh.
alright. started on my report thingy and yeah ..
i don't think anyone is diggin' the SRP this week haha.

Hello There, it has been a while!

WELL, I have certainly began my experiment, like every one else has. I have gathered two sets of results so far, but I want to post it all together, so it's easier to compare, and less repetitive. Although my experiment is very simple, it will determine whether or not branded things are better than non-branded.
Yeah, talk to you later .. most likely tmrw after work.
Laters.

ps. I have pictures, but internet is killing me.
Upload later during off peak, preferably Monday..

Climate Graph


my climate graph is really nooby because yeah .. i suck with computers so i did it with pen and paper (y)

Experiment - Petroleum Jelly

Hypothesis: Well known brands of Petroleum Jelly will keep the most moisture from evaporating
Aim: To determine whether well known brands of Petroleum Jelly work better than lesser known brands.
Risk Assessment:
Identify: water
Assess: may spill and create a slippery surface
Control: clean all spills immediately
Dispose: down the drain
Equipment:
- 5x shot cups
- water
- 4 different brands of Petroleum jelly
- measuring spoons
- 5 pieces of 5cm x 5cm cheesecloth
- measuring jug
- 10 rubber bands

Method:
1. Gather all equipment
2. Pour 20mL of water in each shot cup
3. Cover each shot cup with a cheesecloth and put 2 rubber bands around the top
4. Spread a quarter of a teaspoon of one brand of Petroleum Jelly evenly on the top of one cheesecloth.
5. Repeat step 4 with the 3 other brands and leave one cheesecloth plain.
6. Label the shot cups with the brand of Petroleum Jelly.
7. Leave shot cups to sit for 6 hours.
8. Record Observations.
9. Clean up experiment.
10. Repeat Experiment

I'M BACK, LADIES.

i will refrain from "spamming"
and briefly update on my ideas

so, apparently, there are too many variables or some shizzle,
so i thought i would just test different brands of Petroleum Jelly
and see which one will keep the most liquid from evaporating.

SO, i've gone and blown all my life savings on Vaseline, Home Brand Petroleum Jelly, Coles Petroleum Jelly and i WILL find another brand .. soon

and yeah .. i will come up with a method .. later

AND AGAIN.

i forgot to mention, I'll do this experiment every 2-3 weeks or when like the weather is different, you know what i mean? and I'll have to repeat experiment a fair few times to see if my results are consistent ladida.

OK. I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AGAIN.

OK.. so basically I'm just clarifying what i said before cause yeah, i was a bit confused myself.
SO, I'm gonna use like a piece of cheesecloth or like a coffee filter thing to act as the skin.
Then, I'm gonna like spread a certain amount of moisturiser on top. To compare results, I will, use different brands, and leave one filter bare. i will place the filter on top of a jar of a certain amount of water and I'll make sure the jar of water is sealed tight by the filter so like the water can pass only through the filter. (if you get what i mean cause i seriously can't word it differently D:) I'm gonna like check how much water there is left in the jar every hour or so and record observations ladida.

independent variable: time, weather?
dependent variable: brand of moisturiser
controlled variable: amount of moisturiser used, amount of water in jar, size of jar, filter, place it is set

ALRIGHT. AM I DONE YET?

Omgahs.

I just read that email thing like 10 seconds ago .. and i never knew i had to like come up with an experiment already D: NOT COOL.
well .. firstly ..
my research thingy is, "which moisturiser will keep moisture from evaporating"

as said in the e-mail, "a brief plan"
independent variables will be time
dependent will be what brand of moisturiser used

I sorta have an idea of what I'm gonna do-ish. I'll like substitute human skin using a different filter .. and like spread the moisturiser on the filter .. and like put it on top of a jar of water or some shizzle like that.

my head really hurts from thinking.

TTYL BABES !

WELLLL

I've been like looking at everyone's blogs and they have so many more posts than me and they write like so much more stuff. so i want to make mine look longer, so it looks like I've done something. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO INDECISIVE except me, who decided on the second blog post. MEH. so yeah, that moisturising thing I'm gonna do is going to be hectic .. hopefully.. and i swear, Vaseline does not moisturise.

UPDATE

Even though noone reads this, i still have to update.. cause I'm that dedicated to science. I think I'll do the "which moisturiser is best at keeping moisture" one because .. it seems interesting and easy .. I guess.

ok.. yeah.

THREE MARKS

I was told to update regularly to get three marks.. so chyeah boy !
I don't exactly know what I'm going to do, but I'll come up with something before Thursday..
a few ideas would be..
- which moisturiser is the best in keeping moisture (it made sense in my head)
- something about celery.
- which brand of washing powder eliminates stains best.
- cooking position of muffins. LOL

idk..
